Abstract

Rationale A growing literature indicates that increased dopamine transmission in the nucleus accumbens contributes to priming-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior.Objectives The present experiments were designed to assess the role of D(1)-like dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens core and shell subregions in cocaine priming-induced reinstatement of drug seeking.Methods Rats were trained to lever press for cocaine using a fixed ratio (FR) 5 schedule of reinforcement. Drug-seeking was measured by active lever presses during daily 2-h sessions. After approximately 30 days of cocaine self-administration, the animals underwent an extinction phase during which cocaine was replaced with saline. Daily extinction sessions were conducted until responding was consistently less than 10% of the response rate maintained by cocaine self-administration. After the extinction phase, priming-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior was assessed.Results Cocaine dose-dependently reinstated cocaine seeking, with robust drug seeking at 10 mg/kg cocaine. Administration of the D(1)-like dopamine receptor antagonist, SCH-23390 (0.1-1.0 micro g), directly into the medial nucleus accumbens shell dose-dependently attenuated drug seeking induced by 10 mg/kg cocaine. Microinjection of 1.0 micro g SCH-23390 into either the nucleus accumbens core or lateral septum had no influence on cocaine-seeking behavior.Conclusions These results indicate that stimulation of D(1)-like dopamine receptors in the medial nucleus accumbens shell contributes to drug-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In cocaine reinstatement models, systemic administration of cocaine reinstates conditioned responding, and this cocaine-induced reinstatement is blocked by administration of dopamine receptor antagonists into the medial shell, but not the core.

    “For instance, in animals that have extinguished conditioned responding (lever-pressing), systemic administration of cocaine reinstates the conditioned responding, and this cocaine-induced reinstatement is blocked by the administration of dopamine receptor antagonists into the medial shell, but not the core (McFarland and Kalivas, 2001; Anderson et al., 2003; Bachtell et al., 2005; Anderson et al.,”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
