Journal ArticleDOI
The role of excitatory amino acids in behavioral sensitization to psychomotor stimulants
TL;DR: A review of the large number of subsequent studies addressing the roles of NMDA, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) and metabotropic glutamate receptors in the development and expression of behavioral sensitization concludes that EAA projections originating in prefrontal cortex may play a particularly important role in theDevelopment of sensitization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychomotor Stimulant Addiction: A Neural Systems Perspective
Barry J. Everitt,Marina E. Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: The reinforcing (rewarding) effects of psychomotor stimulants (cocaine and amphetamine) depend on the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system innervating the nucleus accumbens, perhaps especially the shell subregion.
PatentDOI
FORMATION OF ACCUMBENS GluR2-LACKING AMPA RECEPTORS MEDIATES INCUBATION OF COCAINE CRAVING
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for ameliorating cue-induced cravings for an addictive substance in abstinent addicts by administering a compound capable of blockade of GluR2-lacking AMPA receptors was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral Sensitization to Cocaine Is Associated with Increased AMPA Receptor Surface Expression in the Nucleus Accumbens
Amy C. Boudreau,Marina E. Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that drug-seeking responses are more effectively triggered in cocaine-sensitized rats because of increased cell surface expression of AMPA receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synaptic mechanisms underlying persistent cocaine craving
TL;DR: Rodent studies of cue-induced cocaine craving during abstinence are discussed, with a focus on neuronal plasticity in the reward circuitry that maintains high levels of craving.
