1 Optogenetic inhibition of D1R containing nucleus accumbens neurons alters cocaine-mediated regulation of Tiam1. Cocaine TIAM Rac1 associated GEF 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Here, we demonstrate that rats that actively self-administer cocaine display reduced levels of Tiam1 in the NAc. Cocaine TIAM Rac1 associated GEF 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 We then examined the contribution of D1-MSNs to the cocaine-mediated decrease of Tiam1. Cocaine TIAM Rac1 associated GEF 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 Moreover, inhibiting these NAc D1-MSNs during cocaine exposure reversed the down-regulation of Tiam1 gene expression and protein levels. Cocaine TIAM Rac1 associated GEF 1 Rattus norvegicus
