Serial, as opposed to parallel, insular-prefrontal cortex processing determines the tendency to make risky decisions

Dhaval Joshi, Kshitij Jadhav, Lanfei Sun, Tristan J. Hynes, David Belin

This study shows that serial processing between insular and prefrontal cortices determines risk-taking behavior in rats, with parallel processing linked to suboptimal decisions.

Compulsion derived from incentive cocaine-seeking habits is associated with a downregulation of the dopamine transporter in striatal astrocytes

Maxime Fouyssac, Tristan J. Hynes, Aude Belin‐Rauscent, Dhaval Joshi, David Belin

The paper shows that cocaine exposure reduces dopamine transporter levels in striatal astrocytes, with compulsive cocaine-seeking habits linked to reduced DAT mRNA in the nucleus accumbens shell.

The anterior insular cortex in the rat exerts an inhibitory influence over the loss of control of heroin intake and subsequent propensity to relapse

Dhaval Joshi, Mickaël Puaud, Maxime Fouyssac, Aude Belin‐Rauscent, Barry J. Everitt, David Belin

This study shows that anterior insular cortex lesions after heroin exposure increase loss of control and relapse, contrasting with cocaine findings.
