Differential acquisition of cocaine and heroin self-administration in a rat model of internalizing versus externalizing temperament

Michael A. Emery, Aram Parsegian, Sharon A. Koonse, Elaine K. Hebda‐Bauer, Kristin Lee, Brandon D. Luma, Stephen E. Chang, JB Becker, Shelly B. Flagel, Stanley J. Watson, Huda Akil

This study compares how cocaine and heroin self-administration is acquired in rats with internalizing vs. externalizing temperament, finding drug-specific and sex-dependent differences.

Cocaine during adolescence differentially impacts psychomotor sensitization and epigenetic profiles in adult male rats with divergent affective phenotypes

Aram Parsegian, María Julia García-Fuster, Elaine K. Hebda‐Bauer, Stanley J. Watson, Shelly B. Flagel, Huda Akil

This study shows adolescent cocaine exposure affects psychomotor sensitization and epigenetic profiles differently in genetically distinct rat strains, linking these changes to addiction vulnerability.

Optimization and quantitative evaluation of fluorescence in situ hybridization chain reaction in clarified fresh-frozen brain tissues

Vivek Kumar, David M. Krolewski, Elaine K. Hebda‐Bauer, Aram Parsegian, Brian Martin, Matthew Foltz, Huda Akil, Stanley J. Watson

The paper optimizes in situ hybridization chain reaction in fresh-frozen brain tissues and evaluates its performance with clearing methods, finding iDISCO+ provides better labeling uniformity and imaging depth.

The Paraventricular Thalamus is a Critical Mediator of Top-down Control of Cue-motivated Behavior in Rats

Paolo Campus, Ignacio R. Covelo, Youngsoo Kim, Aram Parsegian, Brittany N. Kuhn, Sofia A. Lopez, John F. Neumaier, Susan M. Ferguson, Leah C. Solberg Woods, Martin F. Sarter, Shelly B. Flagel

This study shows that the PrL-PVT pathway modulates incentive value attribution to reward-cues in rats, with distinct effects in sign-trackers and goal-trackers.
