The ventral hippocampus and nucleus accumbens as neural substrates for cocaine contextual memory reconsolidation

Carolina Caban Rivera, Rachael Price, Ricardo Petrilli Fortuna, Chen Li, Chau Do, Justin Shinkle, Marco Ghilotti, Xiangdang Shi, Lynn G. Kirby, George M. Smith, Ellen M. Unterwald

This study investigates the role of the ventral hippocampus and nucleus accumbens in cocaine contextual memory reconsolidation and finds that disrupting these circuits reduces drug-seeking behavior.
