Biol Psychiatry
. 2024 Nov;
97(7):707-720.
PMID: 39491639
Background: The avoidance of aversive stimuli through negative reinforcement learning, which demands dynamic responding to both positive and negative stimuli that often conflict with each other, is critical for survival...

PMID: 38657057
MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a psychoactive drug with powerful prosocial effects. While MDMA is sometimes termed an "empathogen," empirical studies have struggled to clearly demonstrate these effects or pinpoint underlying mechanisms....

Commun Biol
. 2022 Jan;
5(1):33.
PMID: 35017641
Understanding percepts, engrams and actions requires methods for selectively modulating synaptic communication between specific subsets of interconnected cells. Here, we develop an approach to control synaptically connected elements using bioluminescent...

St Laurent R, Martinez Damonte V, Tsuda A, Kauer J
Neuron
. 2020 Mar;
106(4):624-636.e4.
PMID: 32191871
The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a major target of addictive drugs and receives multiple GABAergic projections originating outside the VTA. We describe differences in synaptic plasticity and behavior when ...

eNeuro
. 2019 Oct;
6(6).
PMID: 31619451
Drug exposure induces cell and synaptic plasticity within the brain reward pathway that could be a catalyst for progression to addiction. Several cellular adaptations have been described in the ventral...

J Neurosci
. 2018 Jul;
38(34):7529-7540.
PMID: 30054391
The peripheral trigeminovascular pathway mediates orofacial and craniofacial pain and projects centrally to the brainstem trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNc). Sensitization of this pathway is involved in many pain conditions, but...

. 2015 Sep;
233(10):1991-2004.
PMID: 26344108
Rationale And Objective: In humans, exposure to contexts previously associated with heroin use can provoke relapse. In rats, exposure to heroin-paired contexts after extinction of drug-reinforced responding in different contexts...

Neurosci Lett
. 2013 Apr;
544:94-9.
PMID: 23583595
Cocaine generates drug-seeking behavior by creating long-lasting changes in the reward pathway. The role of the growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in facilitating these changes was investigated in the...
