nervous system
• cocaine-induced synaptic strengthening in the ventral tegmental area does not occur in mice after cre activity is induced
|
• NMDA-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents are completely abolished in the ventral tegmental area of mice after cre activity is induced
|
behavior/neurological
• mice that have had cre activity induced and were conditioned to associate a certain cage environment with cocaine do not reinstate their cocaine-seeking behavior when administered the drug after a 16 day extinction phase
