Chemogenetic Activation of Medial Prefrontal Cortex Projections to the Nucleus Accumbens Shell Suppresses Cocaine-Primed Reinstatement in EcoHIV Infected Mice

Qiaowei Xie, Mark D. Namba, Rohan Dasari, Lauren A. Buck, Christine M Side, Samuel L. Goldberg, Kyewon Park, Joshua G. Jackson, Laura L. Giacometti, Jacqueline M. Barker

This study shows that HIV infection increases cocaine-primed reinstatement in mice and that activating the mPFC-NAc circuit can reverse this effect.

Astrocytic Regulation of Cocaine Locomotor Sensitization in EcoHIV Infected Mice

Qiaowei Xie, Rohan Dasari, Mark D. Namba, Lauren A. Buck, Christine M Side, Kyewon Park, Joshua G. Jackson, Jacqueline M. Barker

This study shows that HIV infection enhances cocaine locomotor sensitization in mice and that activating astrocytic Gq signaling in the nucleus accumbens can reverse this effect.
