Pairing extinction training with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) reduces drug-seeking by altering activity in afferents to the medial prefrontal cortex

Christopher M. Driskill, Lily Vu, Sophia P. Jalilvand…·Sven Kroener

This study shows that pairing extinction training with vagus nerve stimulation reduces drug-seeking behavior by altering activity in specific prefrontal-amygdala-hippocampal circuits.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) modulates synaptic plasticity in the rat infralimbic cortex via Trk-B receptor activation to reduce drug-seeking

Christopher M. Driskill, Jessica E. Childs, Aarron J. Phensy…·Sven Kroener

This study shows that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) enhances extinction learning and reduces drug-seeking in rats by increasing BDNF and modulating TrkB receptors in the infralimbic cortex.

A female-specific role for Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) in rodent pain models

Candler Paige, Isabel Plasencia-Fernández, Moeno Kume…·Theodore J. Price

This study investigates the sex-specific role of CGRP in pain models, finding that CGRP promotes pain plasticity in female mice but has limited impact in males.
