ASSESSMENT OF CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC EXCITATORY SYNAPTIC STRENGTH IN THE DORSOLATERAL STRIATUM OF GOAL-DIRECTED AND HABITUAL COCAINE-SEEKING BEHAVIOR

Kaliana M. Veros, Maureen M. Timm, Peter J. West…·Kristen A. Keefe

This study investigates cell-type-specific synaptic changes in the dorsolateral striatum of rats with habitual vs. goal-directed cocaine-seeking behavior and finds no significant differences in postsynaptic strength in D2 MSNs.

The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces opioid self-administration

Gabriel D. Bossé, Roberto Cadeddu, Gabriele Floris…·Randall Theodore Peterson

This study shows finasteride reduces opioid self-administration in zebrafish and rats without affecting locomotion or feeding, and suggests steroidogenic pathways as potential targets for OUD treatment.
