The paper identifies neurobehavioral markers in rats that predict future compulsive cocaine seeking behavior through pre-existing functional and structural brain changes.

This study shows that compulsive coping behaviors in rats develop through dopamine-dependent mechanisms in the dorsolateral striatum after prolonged adjunctive drinking.

This study shows that rats with long-term cocaine-seeking habits controlled by cues show increased relapse severity, driven by negative urgency and striatal system interactions.

The paper shows baclofen reduces compulsive alcohol drinking in rats with low GAT-3 mRNA in the central amygdala.

This study shows that environmental conditions and experiential factors influence addiction vulnerability by affecting behavioral resilience and the context of drug use.

This study shows that direct projections from the basolateral amygdala to the nucleus accumbens core are required for cue-controlled cocaine seeking behavior.

This study shows that anterior insular cortex lesions after heroin exposure increase loss of control and relapse, contrasting with cocaine findings.
