| الوصف: | Cocaine Use Disorder persists as a significant public health concern in the United States. Recent epidemiological data indicate that rates of cocaine-involved overdose deaths are rising, and treatment of Cocaine Use Disorder is challenging due to a lack of FDA-approved medications to help patients achieve abstinence and avoid relapse. Stress can precipitate cocaine craving and trigger relapse episodes, however the underlying neural circuitry by which stressors drive cocaine seeking is not completely understood. Our laboratory has recently identified the potential involvement of the rostrolateral aspect of the periaqueductal gray (rlPAG) in psychosocial stress-induced cocaine-seeking behavior using a rodent model of cocaine relapse. Neuroanatomical evidence points to a dense monosynaptic input from the lateral hypothalamus (LH) to the rlPAG, yet whether activity within the LH is also associated specifically with psychosocial-stress induced cocaine seeking has not been previously explored. In this study, adult male and female Long-Evans rats were allowed to self-administer cocaine (0.5 mg/kg/inf, IV) in 2-h daily sessions for 20 sessions. During sessions 11, 14, 17, and 20, a tactile cue (perforated polycarbonate enclosure) was placed within the operant chamber, and these sessions were immediately followed by either social defeat stress (SDS, n=16; 8M, 8F) or a no-stress empty-cage control condition (EC, n=12; 6M, 6F). Beginning on day 21, animals underwent extinction training during which lever-presses were not reinforced. Once responding was extinguished, rats were re-exposed to the tactile cue that signaled their assigned stress/no-stress stimulus, and reinstatement of cocaine-seeking was measured for 2 h under extinction conditions. Immediately after the reinstatement test, animals were sacrificed, and brains collected and processed via immunohistochemistry for expression of the immediate early gene c-Fos and the neuropeptide orexin within the LH and neighboring Perifornical Area (PfA). Despite no significant ... |
