The paper investigates how chronic pain affects ethanol seeking behavior in male mice, finding that pain increases susceptibility to reinstatement of ethanol seeking.

This study shows that HIV infection increases cocaine-primed reinstatement in mice and that activating the mPFC-NAc circuit can reverse this effect.

This study shows that HIV infection enhances cocaine locomotor sensitization in mice and that activating astrocytic Gq signaling in the nucleus accumbens can reverse this effect.

This study examines how antiretroviral treatment affects immune responses in the brain and blood of EcoHIV-infected mice, identifying treatment-induced changes in cytokine and chemokine expression.

This study shows HIV-infected mice show impaired extinction of cocaine-seeking behavior and associated immune dysregulation in both peripheral and central systems.
