Journal ArticleDOI
Opiate addiction and cocaine addiction: underlying molecular neurobiology and genetics
TL;DR: Greater understanding of these interacting factors through laboratory-based and translational studies have the potential to optimize early interventions for the therapy of chronic addictive diseases and to reduce the burden of relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the plant-derived hallucinogen salvinorin A on basal dopamine levels in the caudate putamen and in a conditioned place aversion assay in mice: agonist actions at kappa opioid receptors
TL;DR: The inhibitory effect of salvinorin A on striatal dopamine levels may contribute to its induction of conditioned place aversion and decreases in locomotion in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictable individual differences in the initiation of cocaine self-administration by rats under extended-access conditions are dose-dependent.
TL;DR: The present findings indicate that predictable individual differences in cocaine SA under extended access conditions are relevant only at low doses and are surmountable by increasing the available dose of cocaine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the endogenous κ opioid agonist dynorphin A(1–17) on cocaine-evoked increases in striatal dopamine levels and cocaine-induced place preference in C57BL/6J mice
TL;DR: The blockade of the cocaine-induced rise in striatal dopamine may contribute to both dynorphin’s ability to prevent the development of cocaine- induced conditioned place preference and to attenuate the increase in locomotor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrous cycle differences in cocaine-induced stereotypic and locomotor behaviors in Fischer rats.

TL;DR: It is likely that the hormonal fluctuations associated with the estrous cycle modulate both cocaine metabolism and the behavioral responses to cocaine in female rats, which in turn may have important implications in gender differences in behavioral response to cocaine.
