Linked Claims

Claim 1activity encodingsupports2016Source 1DOIPubMed

Fiber photometry calcium imaging identified D1 medium spiny neurons in nucleus accumbens as the specific population encoding information about cocaine-associated drug associations.

Quoted textsource-backed
Using fiber photometry calcium imaging we define D1 MSNs as the specific population of cells in NAc that encodes information about drug associations
Claim 2causal manipulationsupports2016Source 1DOIPubMed

Direct manipulation of D1 signals using DREADDs prevents contextual associations.

Quoted textsource-backed
Directly manipulating these D1 signals using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs prevents contextual associations.
Claim 3dysregulation after exposuresupports2016Source 1DOIPubMed

Chronic cocaine exposure dysregulates D1 signals in a way that prevents extinction and facilitates reinstatement of drug seeking.

Quoted textsource-backed
Chronic cocaine exposure dysregulates these D1 signals to both prevent extinction and facilitate reinstatement of drug seeking to drive relapse.
Claim 4temporal signaturesupports2016Source 1DOIPubMed

D1 medium spiny neuron activity increases with a temporal profile that drives drug seeking in response to contextual cues.

Quoted textsource-backed
elucidate the temporal profile with which D1 activity is increased to drive drug seeking in response to contextual cues
