Synaptic Zn2+ potentiates the effects of cocaine on striatal dopamine neurotransmission and behavior
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.

Cocaine vaccine dAd5GNE protects against moderate daily and high-dose "binge" cocaine use.
PLoS ONE, 2020 The cocaine vaccine dAd5GNE is comprised of a disrupted serotype 5 adenovirus gene therapy vector covalently conjugated to the cocaine analog GNE. The vaccine evokes a high titer of circulating anti-cocaine antibodies that prevent cocaine from reaching ...

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]
, 2018 Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.

The GSK3 signaling pathway is activated by cocaine and is critical for cocaine conditioned reward in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Akt - GSK3 signaling pathway has been recently implicated in psychostimulant-induced behavioral and cellular effects. Here, the ability of cocaine to regulate the activity of Akt and GSK3 was investigated by measuring the phosphorylation states of ...

Prenatal cocaine exposure uncouples mGluR1 from Homer1 and Gq Proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cocaine exposure during gestation causes protracted neurobehavioral changes consistent with a compromised glutamatergic system. Although cocaine profoundly disrupts glutamatergic neurotransmission and in utero cocaine exposure negatively affects ...
