Transient increases in nucleus accumbens (NAc) dopamine concentration are observed
when animals are presented with motivationally salient stimuli and are theorized to energize …

Associations between drugs of abuse and cues facilitate the acquisition and maintenance of
addictive behaviors. Although significant research has been done to elucidate the role that …

The current study aimed to further elucidate the role of endocannabinoid signaling in
methamphetamine-induced psychomotor activation. Rats were treated with bilateral, intracranial …

Patients suffering from amphetamine-induced psychosis display repetitive behaviors, partially
alleviated by antipsychotics, which are reminiscent of rodent stereotypies. Due to recent …

Dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA)
