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

…, TE Brown, G Wayman, H Marie, W Liu, Z Yan, BA Sorg… - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
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

…, R Chris Pierce, J Cornish, BA Sorg - Journal of …, 1998 - journals.sagepub.com
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 effects of stress and cocaine on extracellular levels of dopamine and its metabolites, …

The effect of trait anxiety and situational stress on working memory capacity

BA Sorg, P Whitney - Journal of research in personality, 1992 - Elsevier
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

…, J Raber, RA Darling, TE Brown, BA Sorg - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
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

…, YH Huang, H Shen, PW Kalivas, BA Sorg… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
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

…, P Jendelova, JCF Kwok, J Ruzicka, BA Sorg - Molecular …, 2022 - nature.com
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

EP Sleipness, BA Sorg, HT Jansen - Brain research, 2007 - Elsevier
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 …
