Individual Variation in Intrinsic Neuronal Properties of Nucleus Accumbens Core and Shell Medium Spiny Neurons in Animals Prone to Sign- or Goal-Track

Cristina E Maria-Rios, Geoffrey G. Murphy, Jonathan D. Morrow

This study examines intrinsic neuronal properties of NAc core and shell MSNs in ST and GT rats, finding STs have lower excitability in both regions, suggesting a physiological basis for incentive salience attribution differences.

Genetic characterization of outbred Sprague Dawley rats and utility for genome-wide association studies

Alexander F. Gileta, Christopher J. Fitzpatrick, Apurva S. Chitre, Celine L. St. Pierre, Elizabeth V. Joyce, Rachael J. Maguire, Africa M. McLeod, Natalia M. Gonzales, April E. Williams, Jonathan D. Morrow, Terry E. Robinson, Shelly B. Flagel, Abraham A. Palmer

The paper genotypes over 4,000 Sprague Dawley rats to characterize genetic diversity and performs GWAS on Pavlovian conditioned approach behavior, identifying 46 significant loci.

The lateral hypothalamus and orexinergic transmission in the paraventricular thalamus promote the attribution of incentive salience to reward-associated cues

Joshua L. Haight, Paolo Campus, Cristina E Maria-Rios, Allison Johnson, Marin S. Klumpner, Brittany N. Kuhn, Ignacio R. Covelo, Jonathan D. Morrow, Shelly B. Flagel

This study investigates the role of the lateral hypothalamus and orexinergic signaling in the paraventricular thalamus in attributing incentive salience to reward cues using Pavlovian conditioned approach behavior in rats.

Effects of the cannabinoid receptor agonist CP-55,940 on incentive salience attribution

Ali Gheidi, Lora M. Cope, Christopher J. Fitzpatrick, Benjamin Froehlich, Rachel Atkinson, Coltrane K. Groves, Clair N. Barcelo, Jonathan D. Morrow

This study investigates how the cannabinoid agonist CP-55,940 affects sign-tracking and goal-tracking behaviors in rats, finding that it decreases sign-tracking and increases goal-tracking in a dose-dependent manner.

Cellular compartment analysis of temporal activity by fluorescent in situ hybridization (catFISH) in the transcardially perfused rat brain

Ali Gheidi, Vivek Kumar, Christopher J. Fitzpatrick, Rachel L Atkinson, Jonathan D. Morrow

The paper modifies the catFISH protocol to analyze c-Fos mRNA compartmentalization in perfused rat brains, showing distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic distributions in response to stimuli.
