We have finally begun to see the fruits of our hard work over the last 2.9 years here at UCI.

Here are several new papers, congrats to all the authors!!

Jessica Bolton & Christina Ruiz et al show effects of early life adversity on cocaine seeking

Mitch Farrell et al review how we model cocaine relapse in rats

I talk about a new Nature Neuroscience paper on orexin in nucleus accumbens

Aston-Jones and I discuss the use of CNO as a DREADD agonist

Morgan James et al show prefontal cortex dopamine regulates accumbens projections in relapse

…and there is still plenty more to do in 2018! 😉
