Molecular Dynamics in the Ventral Tegmental Area during Chronic Pain-Induced Negative Affect

Cody C. Diezel, Lisa A. Majuta, Erfan Bahramnejad, Kelly L. Karlage, Jennifer L. Partin, Saniya M.D. Barbour, Ingrid L. Peterson, Matthew Flowers, Sophia T. von Hippel, Riley Haveman, Eva Villarroel-Candia, Isabella Villarroel, Paul R. Langlais, Tally M. Largent‐Milnes, Todd W. Vanderah, Arthur C. Riegel

This study investigates molecular changes in the ventral tegmental area of mice with chronic pain-induced negative affect, identifying sex-dependent Kv7.2 channel expression and endocannabinoid level alterations.

Kv7 Channel Opener Retigabine Reduces Self-Administration of Cocaine but Not Sucrose in Rats

Esteban S. Urena, Cody C. Diezel, Mauricio Serna, Grace Hala’ufia, Lisa A. Majuta, Kara R. Barber, Todd W. Vanderah, Arthur C. Riegel

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.

The Role of Ryanodine Receptor 2 in Drug-Associated Learning

Kara R. Barber, Velia Sofia Vizcarra, Ashlyn Zilch, Lisa A. Majuta, Cody C. Diezel, Oliver Paul Culver, Brandon W. Hughes, Makoto Taniguchi, John M. Streicher, Todd W. Vanderah, Arthur C. Riegel

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.
