TLDR
It is found that dephosphorylated, nuclear histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) reduced cocaine reward-context associations and relapse-like behaviors in a cocaine self-administration model and that nuclear HDAC5 limits reinstatement of drug seeking independent of NPAS4.

Different Neuronal Activity Patterns Induce Different Gene Expression Programs

TL;DR: The same mechanisms that establish the multi-wave temporal structure of gene induction also enable different gene sets to be induced by different activity durations and improve the understanding of activity-pattern-dependent synaptic plasticity.

A Motivational and Neuropeptidergic Hub: Anatomical and Functional Diversity within the Nucleus Accumbens Shell

TL;DR: The anatomical-functional backdrop upon which several neuropeptides act within the NAc to modulate behavior is described, with a specific emphasis on nucleus accumbens medial shell and stress responsivity.

How the epigenome integrates information and reshapes the synapse.

TL;DR: An overview of key established epigenetic mechanisms that are important for memory formation is provided, with a particular focus on the bidirectional relationship between the epigenome and the synapse.

Overexpression of the histone dimethyltransferase G9a in nucleus accumbens shell increases cocaine self-administration, stress-induced reinstatement, and anxiety

TL;DR: G9a, an epigenetic repressor of gene expression, acting in the nucleus accumbens, a brain reward region, is capable of increasing both addiction- and anxiety-like behaviors in rats and indicates a novel role for G9a in promoting comorbid cocaine addiction and anxiety.

Class IIa HDACs regulate learning and memory through dynamic experience-dependent repression of transcription

TL;DR: A new mechanism is described that regulates the cellular patterns of early response gene signaling during learning via the recruitment of two functionally redundant nuclear repressors, class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) 4 and 5.

Simple Combinations of Lineage-Determining Transcription Factors Prime cis-Regulatory Elements Required for Macrophage and B Cell Identities

TL;DR: It is demonstrated in macrophages and B cells that collaborative interactions of the common factor PU.1 with small sets of macrophage- or B cell lineage-determining transcription factors establish cell-specific binding sites that are associated with the majority of promoter-distal H3K4me1-marked genomic regions.

Neurocircuitry of Addiction

TL;DR: The delineation of the neurocircuitry of the evolving stages of the addiction syndrome forms a heuristic basis for the search for the molecular, genetic, and neuropharmacological neuroadaptations that are key to vulnerability for developing and maintaining addiction.

WebGestalt: an integrated system for exploring gene sets in various biological contexts

TL;DR: A web-based integrated data mining system to help biologists in exploring large sets of genes, WebGestalt, has been developed and 48 gene sets with genes over-represented in various human tissue types are generated.
