项目摘要

Relapse to cocaine use remains a significant challenge in the treatment of cocaine addiction, yet our understanding of those neural systems that enable individuals to inhibit cocaine seeking and relapse remains poor. The long-term goal of our laboratory is to identify the neural circuits and the changes in those circuits that underlie the inhibition of cocaine-seeking behavior, using rat models of cocaine seeking. The current proposal builds upon the findings we have obtained in recent years as well as new approaches we have developed in our laboratory. In our studies, rats undergo cocaine self-administration, extinction training and reinstatement testing of their cocaine seeking. We have found that the infralimbic cortex is a central component of the systems involved in the extinction and inhibition of cocaine-seeking behavior. Activity in the infralimbic cortex is necessary for the normal encoding of the extinction learning as well as extinction expression. For example, infralimbic activation inhibits cocaine seeking following extinction training. However, the larger circuit in which the infralimbic cortex performs these functions remains unclear. In particular, as evidence suggests functional heterogeneity within the infralimbic cortex in terms of its role in cocaine seeking, understanding the larger circuitry may provide insight into these issues. The proposed work will focus on the specific pathways projecting into and out of the infralimbic that account for its role in extinction and inhibition of cocaine seeking. The work will include approaches that have not, to our knowledge, been used in studies of cocaine seeking and, therefore, will enable notable progress in our knowledge of these systems. In particular, our studies will use multi-site recordings of neural activity during cocaine seeking to understand how a network of brain regions coordinates behavior. Moreover, the proposed studies will use optogenetic approaches to examine how different pathways mediate different aspects of the extinction and inhibition of cocaine seeking. The findings from this work will reveal those specific pathways and network activity related to the IL with regard to the extinction/inhibition of cocaine seeking. Furthermore, the proposed work will both 1) examine changes in IL-based circuits as a consequence of cocaine self-administration and extinction and 2) manipulate these circuits to determine how they functionally control the inhibition of cocaine seeking. The findings from the studies will furnish critical new basic knowledge of the neural systems underlying the suppression of cocaine seeking that will potentially lead to the development of more effective treatments that strengthen such systems in cocaine-addicted individuals.

对可卡因使用的复发仍然是可卡因成瘾治疗的重大挑战，但是我们的了解那些使个人能够抑制可卡因寻求和复发的神经系统仍然存在贫穷的。我们实验室的长期目标是确定神经回路和这些电路中的变化使用可卡因寻求的大鼠模型，是对可卡因寻求可卡因行为的抑制。当前的建议建立在我们近年来获得的发现以及我们开发的新方法的基础上我们的实验室。在我们的研究中，大鼠接受可卡因自我给药，灭绝训练和恢复原状测试他们的可卡因寻求。我们发现，输液皮层是涉及灭绝和抑制可卡因寻求可卡因行为的系统。输液皮层中的活性为正常编码灭绝学习以及灭绝表达所必需的。例如，输液激活抑制可卡因在灭绝训练后寻求。但是，较大的电路输液皮层执行这些功能尚不清楚。特别是，正如证据表明功能在爆发皮质中的异质性就其在可卡因寻求中的作用而言，了解较大的电路可能会深入了解这些问题。拟议的工作将集中于特定途径进出的输入和外出，解释了其在灭绝和抑制可卡因寻求中的作用。据我们所知，这项工作将包括在可卡因的研究中未使用的方法因此，将在我们对这些系统的了解中取得显着进步。特别是，我们的研究将使用可卡因期间神经活动的多站点记录，以寻求了解大脑网络区域协调行为。此外，拟议的研究将使用光遗传学方法来检查不同的途径如何介导可卡因寻求的灭绝和抑制的不同方面。这这项工作的发现将揭示与IL相关的特定途径和网络活动可卡因寻求的灭绝/抑制。此外，拟议的工作将同时研究1）检查的变化基于IL的电路是由于可卡因自我给药和灭绝以及2）操纵这些电路以确定它们如何在功能上控制可卡因寻求的抑制。来自研究将为可卡因抑制的基础神经系统提供关键的新基础知识寻求有可能导致更有效的治疗以增强此类系统的发展在可卡因的个体中。
