Article Synopsis
- * The study explored how microglia, a type of immune cell in the brain, influence these synaptic changes after cocaine withdrawal and found that depleting microglia blocked cocaine-induced alterations.
- * Findings suggest that microglia are crucial for synaptic changes in NAc during withdrawal, indicating potential for targeting them in relapse prevention treatments.
