The effect of VTA-directed injections of SB-334867 (0 or 3 μg) on locomotor activity was also assessed. Intra-VTA, but not -PVT, SB-334867 dose-dependently attenuated S⁺-induced reinstatement (3 μg dose, p<0.01). Intra-VTA SB-334867 had no effect on locomotor activity. We conclude that OrxR1 signalling within the VTA, but not the PVT, mediates cue-induced cocaine-seeking behaviour. We hypothesize that blockade of VTA OrxR1 signalling may reduce nucleus accumbens dopamine in response to drug cue presentation.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:48:59 AEST ]]> Media reporting on alcohol and other drugs in Australia and the Mindframe guidelines: Baseline data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52652 Thu 19 Oct 2023 15:25:11 AEDT ]]> Chronic stress induced remodeling of the prefrontal cortex: structural re-organization of microglia and the inhibitory effect of minocycline https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19924 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:46 AEDT ]]> mTORC1 inhibition in the nucleus accumbens 'protects' against the expression of drug seeking and 'relapse' and is associated with reductions in GluA1 AMPAR and CAMKIIα levels https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20866 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:51 AEDT ]]>
