Casting a wide net: role of perineuronal nets in neural plasticity
BA Sorg, S Berretta, JM Blacktop… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are unique extracellular matrix structures that wrap around
certain neurons in the CNS during development and control plasticity in the adult CNS. They …

Reconsolidation of drug memories
BA Sorg - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Persistent, unwanted memories are believed to be key contributors to drug addiction and the
chronic relapse problem over the lifetime of the addict. Contrary to the long-held idea that …

[PDF][PDF] In vivo cocaine experience generates silent synapses
Studies over the past decade have enunciated silent synapses as prominent cellular
substrates for synaptic plasticity in the developing brain. However, little is known about whether …

A role for sensitization in craving and relapse in cocaine addiction
Sensitization to cocaine refers to the behavioral model of cocaine addiction where the motor
stimulant effect of cocaine is augmented for months after discontinuing a regimen of …

Effects of cocaine and footshock stress on extracellular dopamine levels in the ventral striatum
BA Sorg, PW Kalivas - Brain research, 1991 - Elsevier
Behavioral and neurochemical cross-sensitization between cocaine and stress was examined.

The effect of trait anxiety and situational stress on working memory capacity
Individuals were divided into high and low trait anxiety groups and were exposed to 10 min
of a stressful environment (a video game competition) or a nonstressful environment. Their …

Removal of perineuronal nets in the medial prefrontal cortex impairs the acquisition and reconsolidation of a cocaine-induced conditioned place preference memory
Pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) critically contribute to cocaine-seeking
behavior in humans and rodents. Activity of these neurons is significantly modulated by …

A silent synapse-based mechanism for cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization
Locomotor sensitization is a common and robust behavioral alteration in rodents whereby
following exposure to abused drugs such as cocaine, the animal becomes significantly more …

[HTML][HTML] The extracellular matrix and perineuronal nets in memory
All components of the CNS are surrounded by a diffuse extracellular matrix (ECM)
containing chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs), heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs), …

Diurnal differences in dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase levels in rat brain: dependence on the suprachiasmatic nucleus
Time of day can influence cocaine-seeking behavior in rats, and this influence may depend
on the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). We used western blots to measure expression of …
