High frequency DBS-like optogenetic stimulation of nucleus accumbens dopamine D2 receptor-containing neurons attenuates cocaine reinstatement in male rats

Sarah E. Swinford-Jackson, Phillip J. Huffman, Melissa C. Knouse…·Robert Christopher Pierce

The paper tests if optogenetic stimulation of specific dopamine receptor neurons in the nucleus accumbens reduces cocaine seeking in male rats, finding it reduces seeking when targeting D2DR neurons.
