1 5-HT1A Autoreceptors in the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus Convey Vulnerability to Compulsive Cocaine Seeking. Cocaine 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A Rattus norvegicus
2 This study tests the hypothesis that activation of 5-HT1A autoreceptors, which would lessen 5-HT neuron firing, contributes to cocaine-seeking behaviors. Cocaine 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A Rattus norvegicus
3 Finally, using a rat model of compulsive-like cocaine self-administration, we found that inhibition of dorsal raphe 5-HT1A autoreceptors attenuates cocaine self-administration in rats with 6 h extended access, but not 1 h access to the drug. Cocaine 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A Rattus norvegicus
4 Finally, using a rat model of compulsive-like cocaine self-administration, we found that inhibition of dorsal raphe 5-HT1A autoreceptors attenuates cocaine self-administration in rats with 6 h extended access, but not 1 h access to the drug. Cocaine 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A Rattus norvegicus
5 Therefore, our findings suggest an important role for 5-HT1A autoreceptors, and thus DRN NAc 5-HT neuronal activity, in the etiology and vulnerability to cocaine reward and addiction. Cocaine 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A Rattus norvegicus
