Role of nucleus accumbens core but not shell in incubation of methamphetamine craving after voluntary abstinence

TL;DR: It is suggested that dopamine transmission through Drd1 and Drd2 in NAc core is critical to the incubation of methamphetamine craving after voluntary abstinence.

Response of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System to Memory Retrieval After Extended-Access Cocaine or Saline Self-Administration.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the relationship between UPS activity and memory retrieval depends on training paradigm, brain region, and time elapsed between training and retrieval, and effects of cocaine memory retrieval on proteasome activity, relative to saline memory retrieval, depend on withdrawal time.

Repeated restraint stress exposure during early withdrawal accelerates incubation of cue-induced cocaine craving

TL;DR: It is indicated that chronic stress exposure enhances the initial rate of incubation of craving during early withdrawal, resulting in increased vulnerability to cue‐induced relapse during this period, and may lead to a persistent increase in vulnerability to the relapse‐promoting effects of stress.

Exercise during early, but not late abstinence, attenuates subsequent relapse vulnerability in a rat model.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the timing of exercise availability differentially impacts cocaine seeking with results suggesting that exercise during early, but not late, abstinence may provide long-term protection against cocaine relapse.

Incubation of Fear Is Regulated by TIP39 Peptide Signaling in the Medial Nucleus of the Amygdala.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that TIP39 signaling within the MeA at the time of an aversive event regulates the increase over time in fear associated with the event context, which will help in the understanding of why traumatic events sometimes have severe psychological consequences.

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of earthquake-triggered landsliding in the Czech Republic over a period of 18 months in order to establish a probabilistic framework for estimating the intensity of the earthquake.

Neural systems of reinforcement for drug addiction: from actions to habits to compulsion

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the change from voluntary drug use to more habitual and compulsive drug use represents a transition at the neural level from prefrontal cortical to striatal control over drug seeking and drug taking behavior as well as a progression from ventral to more dorsal domains of the striatum, involving its dopaminergic innervation.

GDNF: a glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons

TL;DR: In embryonic midbrain cultures, recombinant human GDNF promoted the survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increased their high-affinity dopamine uptake and did not increase total neuron or astrocyte numbers or transmitter uptake.

Neurotrophins as synaptic modulators

TL;DR: By this account, neurotrophins may participate in activity-dependent synaptic plasticity, linking synaptic activity with long-term functional and structural modification of synaptic connections.

The GDNF family: Signalling, biological functions and therapeutic value

TL;DR: Members of the nerve growth factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor families — comprising neurotrophins and GDNF-family ligands (GFLs) — are crucial for the development and maintenance of distinct sets of central and peripheral neurons.
