Journal ArticleDOI

Pet imaging of dopamine D2 receptors in monkey models of cocaine abuse : Genetic predisposition versus environmental modulation

TL;DR: There appears to be an inverse relationship between D2 receptor availability and vulnerability to the reinforcing effects of cocaine, and the development of novel animal models will extend understanding of the neurobiological basis of drug addiction to include a greater appreciation of the role of environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of the “Pipeline” for Development of Medications for Cocaine Use Disorder: A Review of Translational Preclinical, Human Laboratory, and Clinical Trial Research

TL;DR: There was good concordance between animal and human laboratory results when the former assessed chronic drug treatment, and several subject-related, procedural, and environmental factors that differ between the laboratory and clinical trial settings that help explain the disagreement for other drugs were revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonergic Attenuation of the Reinforcing and Neurochemical Effects of Cocaine in Squirrel Monkeys

TL;DR: The results obtained suggest that increasing brain 5-HT activity can attenuate the reinforcing effects of cocaine, ostensibly by decreasing the ability of cocaine to elevate extracellular DA in brain areas that mediate the behavioral effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship Between Social Rank and Cortisol and Testosterone Concentrations in Male Cynomolgus Monkeys (Macaca fascicularis)

TL;DR: Results indicate that basal cortisol and testosterone concentrations and HPA axis function are state variables that differentially reflect position in the dominance hierarchy, rather than trait variables that predict future social status.
