Smith C, Lintz T, Clark M, Malacon K, Abiad A, Constantino N, et al.
Neuropsychopharmacology . 2022 Jul; 47(10):1755-1763. PMID: 35835992
The current opioid epidemic has dramatically increased the number of children who are prenatally exposed to opioids, including oxycodone. A number of social and cognitive abnormalities have been documented in...

Tapia M, Jin X, Tucker B, Thomas L, Walker N, Kim V, et al.
Neuropharmacology . 2022 Apr; 212:109066. PMID: 35461879
Many tobacco smokers consume nicotine intermittently, but the underlying mechanisms and neurobiological changes associated with intermittent nicotine intake are unclear. Understanding intermittent nicotine intake is a high priority, as it...

Rezvani A, Wells C, Hawkey A, Blair G, Koburov R, Ko A, et al.
Eur J Pharmacol . 2021 Aug; 909:174407. PMID: 34363830
Opioid use disorder (OUD) has a variety of adverse effects on both the users and their offspring. In the current study, a random group of Sprague-Dawley rats (25 females and...

Yan Y, Beckley N, Kim V, Drenan R
eNeuro . 2019 Nov; 6(6). PMID: 31744841
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons receive glutamatergic and/or GABAergic input from other local neurons within the VTA. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) activity is capable of modulating such intra-VTA transmission, but...

Arvin M, Jin X, Yan Y, Wang Y, Ramsey M, Kim V, et al.
J Neurosci . 2019 Mar; 39(22):4268-4281. PMID: 30867261
Antagonism of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the medial habenula (MHb) or interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) triggers withdrawal-like behaviors in mice chronically exposed to nicotine, implying that nicotine dependence involves the...

Yan Y, Peng C, Arvin M, Jin X, Kim V, Ramsey M, et al.
Cell Rep . 2018 May; 23(8):2236-2244. PMID: 29791835
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamate neurons are important components of reward circuitry, but whether they are subject to cholinergic modulation is unknown. To study this, we used molecular, physiological, and...

Peng C, Yan Y, Kim V, Engle S, Berry J, McIntosh J, et al.
Eur J Neurosci . 2018 May; 50(3):2224-2238. PMID: 29779223
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), prototype members of the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel family, are key mediators of cholinergic transmission in the central nervous system. Despite their importance, technical gaps exist...

Banala S, Arvin M, Bannon N, Jin X, Macklin J, Wang Y, et al.
Nat Methods . 2018 Mar; 15(5):347-350. PMID: 29578537
Photoactivatable pharmacological agents have revolutionized neuroscience, but the palette of available compounds is limited. We describe a general method for caging tertiary amines by using a stable quaternary ammonium linkage...

Benton N, Russo K, Brozek J, Andrews R, Kim V, Kriegsfeld L, et al.
Physiol Behav . 2017 Jun; 190:43-60. PMID: 28624479
We tested the hypothesis that the effects of food restriction on behavioral motivation are mediated by one or both of the RFamide peptides, RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) and kisspeptin (Kp) in...
