Formation of an Enduring Ensemble of Accumbens Neurons Leads to Prepotent Seeking for Cocaine Over Natural Reward Cues
Reda Chalhoub, Anze Testen, Jordan Hopkins…·Peter W. Kalivas
The paper shows that cocaine-trained mice have stable D1-MSNs in the NAcore that predict cue-induced cocaine seeking, unlike sucrose.

Investigating cocaine- and abstinence-induced effects on astrocyte gene expression in the nucleus accumbens
Janay P. Franklin, Anze Testen, Piotr A. Mieczkowski…·Kathryn J. Reissner
This study identifies molecular changes in astrocytes of the nucleus accumbens in rats following cocaine self-administration and abstinence using RiboTag and RNA-seq.

Abstinence-dependent effects of long-access cocaine self-administration on nucleus accumbens astrocytes are observed in male, but not female rats
Ronald Kim, Anze Testen, Eden V. Harder…·Kathryn J. Reissner
The paper examines the effects of long-access cocaine self-administration and abstinence on nucleus accumbens astrocytes in male and female rats, finding significant reductions in male rats but not females.
