Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the rat anterior cingulate cortex reduced relapse-like behavior and restored corticostriatal connectivity during opioid abstinence.

Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the medial prefrontal cortex prevents cocaine craving incubation and restores functional connectivity in a rat model of relapse.

This study investigates the role of cAMP-dependent signaling pathways in cocaine-induced immediate-early gene expression in D1 medium-spiny neurons of the nucleus accumbens, identifying distinct pathways for Egr-1 and c-Fos induction.

This study shows that the D3R antagonist VK4-116 improves behavioral flexibility in rats with a history of cocaine use during abstinence.

This study shows that synaptic Zn2+ enhances cocaine's effects on striatal dopamine neurotransmission and behavior by increasing DAT binding and altering locomotor responses.

This study examines how the D3R antagonist PG01037 affects morphine-induced behaviors in mice, finding it reduces hyperlocomotion and antinociception but not locomotor sensitization or catalepsy.
