Synaptic Zn2+ potentiates the effects of cocaine on striatal dopamine neurotransmission and behavior [PDF]

Translational Psychiatry, 2021
Cocaine binds to the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) to regulate cocaine reward and seeking behavior. Zinc (Zn2+) also binds to the DAT, but the in vivo relevance of this interaction is unknown.

Hypocretin-1 receptors regulate the reinforcing and reward-enhancing effects of cocaine: Pharmacological and behavioral genetics evidence [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2012
Considerable evidence suggests that transmission at hypocretin-1 (orexin-1) receptors (Hcrt-R1) plays an important role in the reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behaviors in rodents.

Rabies screen reveals GPe control of cocaine-triggered plasticity [PDF]

Nature, 2017
Identification of neural circuit changes that contribute to behavioural plasticity has routinely been conducted on candidate circuits that were preselected on the basis of previous results.

Determinants of the willingness to reduce or quit cocaine use among nightlife attendees [PDF]

Archives of Public Health
Background Worldwide, cocaine use has increased over the past decade and availability is very high by historical standards. People who use cocaine are exposed to physical and mental health risks.

Effects of a recombinant humanized anti‐cocaine monoclonal antibody on the metabolism and distribution of cocaine in vitro and in mice

Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2022
The anti‐cocaine monoclonal antibody, h2E2, is a candidate for treating cocaine‐use disorder. h2E2 binds to and sequesters cocaine in the plasma compartment, effectively decreasing cocaine concentrations in the brains of rats and mice.

Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Lorcaserin for Cocaine Use Disorder: A Phase I Randomized Clinical Trial

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Background and Objectives: Preclinical studies show serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2CR) agonists reduce cocaine-seeking and cocaine intake. This study examined safety of the 5-HT2CR agonist lorcaserin administered with cocaine in participants with

Estimating the incidence of cocaine use and mortality with music lyrics about cocaine

npj Digital Medicine, 2021
In the United States, cocaine use and mortality have surged in the past 5 years. Considering cocaine’s reputation as a fashionable social drug, the rise of cocaine mentions in popular music may provide a signal of epidemiological trends of cocaine use ...

Chronic inhibition of dopamine β-hydroxylase facilitates behavioral responses to cocaine in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The anti-alcoholism medication, disulfiram (Antabuse), decreases cocaine use in humans regardless of concurrent alcohol consumption and facilitates cocaine sensitization in rats, but the functional targets are unknown.

The Src-Kinase Fyn is Required for Cocaine-Associated Memory Through Regulation of Tau

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Drug-associated context-induced relapse of cocaine-seeking behaviour requires the retrieval of drug-associated memory. Studies exploring the underlying neurobiological mechanism of drug memory formation will likely contribute to the development of ...

Deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens shell attenuates cocaine withdrawal but increases cocaine self-administration, cocaine-induced locomotor activity, and GluR1/GluA1 in the central nucleus of the amygdala in male cocaine-dependent rats

Brain Stimulation, 2022
Background: Cocaine addiction is a major public health problem. Despite decades of intense research, no effective treatments are available. Both preclinical and clinical studies strongly suggest that deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens (NAcc)
