Abstract

Regulating Opioid Responses: Different drugs of abuse are thought to highjack similar reward systems in the brain using common mechanisms. However, Koo et al. (p. 124 ) now observe that some of the neural mechanisms that regulate opiate reward can be both different and even opposite to those that regulate reward by stimulant drugs. While knockdown of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the ventral tegmental area in mice antagonized the response to cocaine, the same manipulation strengthened the potential of opiates to increase dopamine neuron excitability. Optogenetic stimulation of dopaminergic terminals in the nucleus accumbens could counteract the effects of BDNF on morphine reward blockade.

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

  • BDNF signaling through TrkB has different roles in nucleus accumbens medium spiny neuron subtypes in psychostimulant and opiate motivation.

    “TrkB is enriched in D2-MSNs and BDNF signaling through TrkB has different roles in NAc MSN subtypes in psychostimulant and opiate motivation (26, 70), but depression-related BDNF signaling in MSN subtypes is unclear.”

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.
