Accumbens Nitrergic Interneurons Drive the Cell Type-Specific Synaptic Plasticity Required for Cue-Induced Cocaine Seeking

Adam R. Denton, Rachel E. Clarke, Lisa M. Green, Jayda Carroll-Deaton, Annaka M. Westphal, Benjamin M. Siemsen, Ashley G. Brock, Elizabeth A. Hochberg, Jacob Lavine, Makoto Taniguchi, Jacqueline F. McGinty, Alexander C.W. Smith, Constanza García‐Keller, James M. Otis, Michael D. Scofield

This paper identifies nitrergic interneurons as key mediators of cue-induced synaptic plasticity in D1 MSNs required for cocaine seeking, showing that targeting nNOS or mGluR5 blocks relapse.

A subset of nucleus accumbens neurons receiving dense and functional prelimbic cortical input are required for cocaine seeking

Benjamin M. Siemsen, Sarah M. Barry, Kelsey M. Vollmer, Lisa M. Green, Ashley G. Brock, Annaka M. Westphal, Raven A. King, Derek M. DeVries, James M. Otis, Christopher W. Cowan, Michael D. Scofield

The paper identifies a specific subset of nucleus accumbens neurons targeted by prelimbic cortical input that mediate cue-induced cocaine relapse but not sucrose seeking.

Amperometric measurements of cocaine cue and novel context-evoked glutamate and nitric oxide release in the nucleus accumbens core

Benjamin M. Siemsen, Jon A. McFaddin, Keiana Haigh, Ashley G. Brock, Mary Nan Leath, Kaylee N. Hooker, Lilly K. McGonegal, Michael D. Scofield

The paper measures glutamate and nitric oxide release in the nucleus accumbens core during cocaine cue and novel context exposure in rats, finding differences in magnitude but similar temporal dynamics.
