...In contrast to the findings of low striatal D2R in addicted individuals, which in laboratory animals is associated with vulnerability for compulsive cocaine intake, the chemogenetic stimulation of D2R-MSNs (perhaps somewhat akin to lack of DA inhibition through D2R) has been shown to inhibit cocaine intake in mice (Bock et al., 2013)....

...Interestingly, increasing the activity of D2 MSNs normalizes motivated behavior and attenuates drug-seeking behavior (Bock et al., 2013)....

...Overall, the emerging literature using these D1 and D2 transgenic mice supports a role for D1 MSNs in positively regulating psychostimulant-induced behavioral and cellular responses and D2MSNs in negatively regulating these behaviors (Bertran-Gonzalez et al., 2008; Hikida et al., 2010; Lobo et al., 2010; Ferguson et al., 2011; Bock et al., 2013; Farrell et al., 2013; Park et al., 2013)....

...A number of reports indicate that cocaine-induced behaviors, including seeking and sensitization, are mediated by activation of D1 MSNs (Ferguson et al., 2011; Lobo and Nestler, 2011; Bock et al., 2013; Smith et al., 2013)....

...In general, most studies show that exposure to cocaine, irrespective of the behavioral model, potentiates excitatory input onto D1 MSNs but not D2 MSNs (Bertran-Gonzalez et al., 2008; Dobi et al., 2011; Pascoli et al., 2012; Bock et al., 2013; MacAskill et al., 2014)....

...Recently, Alvarez and co-workers reported that synaptic strengthening onto D2-expressing MSNs in the NAc occurs in mice with a history of intravenous cocaine self-administration (Bock et al., 2013)....

...Inhibition of D2-MSNs using a chemicogenetic approach enhanced the motivation to obtain cocaine, while optogenetic activation of D2-MSNs suppressed cocaine self-administration, suggesting that recruitment of D2-MSNs in the NAc functions to restrain cocaine self-administration (Bock et al., 2013)....

...…optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches based on designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD) technology (Lee et al., 2013), it has been shown that strengthening the accumbal indirect pathway via D2 receptors promotes resilience to compulsive cocaine use (Bock et al., 2013)....
