Article Synopsis
- - The ventral pallidum (VP) is crucial in the brain's reward system and has recently been found to contain glutamatergic neurons that can induce aversion, contrasting with the majority of GABAergic neurons that encode rewards.
- - Cocaine conditioned place preference (CPP) training, followed by withdrawal, selectively enhances synaptic connections of VP neurons with aversion-related targets, while decreasing connections with reward-related targets.
- - This study suggests that changes in VP neural pathways may contribute to the heightened aversive feelings experienced during withdrawal, potentially explaining the strong relapse tendencies in drug addiction.
