This study examines whether a single intrastriatal infusion of 7,8-DHF enhances response learning in rats and increases TrkB phosphorylation.

This study shows that morphine exposure leads to long-term shifts in learning strategies from hippocampus-dependent to striatum-dependent, while cocaine does not significantly alter these behaviors.

The paper measures extracellular glucose levels in the hippocampus and striatum of rats during maze training for food or water rewards, finding initial decreases followed by increases, with similar patterns across tasks and rewards.
