The paper characterizes neuronal ensembles associated with cocaine and chocolate in a dual reward conditioned place preference model and finds that ensemble sizes are comparable across single and dual reward conditions.

This study investigates how cocaine-seeking ensembles in the nucleus accumbens core exhibit distinct structural and functional synaptic plasticity compared to non-ensemble neurons during cue-induced reinstatement.

The paper identifies transcriptomic differences in reward-specific ensembles in mice during cocaine and sucrose seeking using single-cell RNA sequencing.
