This study shows that high SPS-like rats have increased cocaine self-administration and altered glutamatergic/GABAergic signaling in the prefrontal cortex, suggesting a risk factor for cocaine use disorder.

This study compares reward sensitivity to ethanol and sucrose in DAT and SERT knockout rats, finding DAT deletions broadly impair both rewards while SERT deletions selectively affect sucrose.
