A Rat Model of Cocaine-Alcohol Polysubstance Use Reveals Altered Cocaine Seeking and Glutamate Levels in the Nucleus Accumbens

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Preclinical models of cocaine use disorder are widely utilized to identify neuroadaptations underlying cocaine seeking and to screen medications to reduce seeking.

The cocaine compulsion zone theory explains the reinstatement of lever pressing behavior in rats in response to a single cocaine dose

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
A single non-contingent dose of cocaine reinstates extinguished lever pressing behavior in rats trained to self-administer cocaine. This represents a model of relapse in cocaine use disorder and the number of lever presses has been the standard measure ...

mGluR5 knockout mice exhibit normal conditioned place-preference to cocaine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) null mutant (-/-) mice have been reported to totally lack the reinforcing or locomotor stimulating effects of cocaine.

Cocaine vaccine dAd5GNE protects against moderate daily and high-dose "binge" cocaine use.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Cannabinoid Receptor Involvement in Stress-Induced Cocaine Reinstatement: Potential Interaction with Noradrenergic Pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This study examined the role of endocannabinoid signaling in stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking and explored the interaction between noradrenergic and endocannabinergic systems in the process.

mGlu5 inhibition in the basolateral amygdala prevents estrous cycle-dependent changes in cue-induced cocaine seeking

open access: yesAddiction Neuroscience, 2023
Drug associated cues are a common relapse trigger for individuals recovering from cocaine use disorder. Sex and ovarian hormones influence patterns of cocaine use and relapse vulnerability, with studies indicating that females show increased cue-induced ...

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Prenatal cocaine exposure uncouples mGluR1 from Homer1 and Gq Proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME), a cocaine pyrolysis product, impairs glutathione-related enzymes response and increases lipid peroxidation in the hippocampal cell culture

open access: yesToxicology Reports, 2019
Crack cocaine smokers inhale, alongside with cocaine, its pyrolysis product, anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME). We have previously described AEME neurotoxic effect and its additive effect when co-incubated with cocaine.
