The neurons that drive infradian sleep-wake and mania-like behavioral rhythms

Pratap S. Markam, Clément Bourguignon, Lei Zhu, Martin Darvas, Paul V. Sabatini, Maia V. Kokoeva, Bruno Giros A, Kai-Florian Storch

This study shows that methamphetamine exposure in mice induces infradian locomotor rhythms and mania-like behaviors, which depend on dopamine neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens.
