Characterization of neuronal ensembles in a model of dual reward conditioned place preference

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.

Functional and Structural Plasticity in Cocaine-Seeking Ensembles of the Nucleus Accumbens Core

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.

Differential genetic expression within reward-specific ensembles in mice

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

Drug self-administration in head-restrained mice for simultaneous multiphoton imaging

This paper describes a new experimental assay allowing mice to self-administer drugs while head-restrained, enabling simultaneous multiphoton imaging of neural activity during drug use and relapse.
