Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.

Effects of hippocampal damage on reward threshold and response rate during self-stimulation of the ventral tegmental area in the rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The main purpose of this study was to explore the role of the hippocampus in motivated behavior. Rats with bilateral excitotoxic lesions of the hippocampus and controls were trained to lever press for electrical stimulation of the ventral tegmental area.

Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

Quantitative pharmacologic MRI: Mapping the cerebral blood volume response to cocaine in dopamine transporter knockout mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The use of pharmacologic MRI (phMRI) in mouse models of brain disorders allows noninvasive in vivo assessment of drug-modulated local cerebral blood volume changes (ΔCBV) as one correlate of neuronal and neurovascular activities.

Nucleus Accumbens Invulnerability to Methamphetamine Neurotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yesILAR Journal, 2011
Methamphetamine (Meth) is a neurotoxic drug of abuse that damages neurons and nerve endings throughout the central nervous system. Emerging studies of human Meth addicts using both postmortem analyses of brain tissue and noninvasive imaging studies of intact brains have confirmed that Meth causes persistent structural abnormalities.

Multifunctional Neural Probes Enable Bidirectional Electrical, Optical, and Chemical Recording and Stimulation In Vivo

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Convergence drawing is used to create flexible, microscale, multifunctional fiber‐based neural probes. Optimized materials selection enables individual devices to perform neural recording, electrical stimulation, optogenetics, fiber photometry, fluid delivery, and voltammetric neurotransmitter detection in rodents.

Wireless In Situ Catalytic Electron Signaling‐Mediated Transcriptomic Reprogramming for Neuron Regeneration via Adaptable Antennas

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A wireless‐charging sustained oxygen release from conductive microgels (SOCO) served as an antenna and an on‐demand O2 release for nerve regeneration is developed. Introducing “electromagnetic messenger”, using external alternating magnetic field (AMF) to enhance catalytic oxygen release and electrical stimulation to promote the reconstruction of blood
