This study shows that retigabine reduces cocaine self-administration but not sucrose self-administration in rats, suggesting a reward-specific effect on drug-seeking behavior.

This study examines RyR2 expression and localization in the vmPFC during drug and sucrose self-administration and reward recall, finding that drug recall alters RyR2P distribution and increases its somatic expression.

This study develops a Drosophila model to investigate NRTI-induced peripheral neuropathy and nociceptive hypersensitivity, finding that increased neuronal dynamics contribute to these effects.
