Nucleus accumbens mGluR5-associated signaling regulates binge alcohol drinking under drinking-in-the-dark procedures.

• Debra K. Cozzoli, Justin Courson, +12 authors K K Szumlinski
• Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research
• 2012

BACKGROUND Alcohol increases the expression of Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and their associated scaffolding protein Homer2 and stimulates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)… (More)

Deficits in ventromedial prefrontal cortex group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor function mediate resistance to extinction during protracted withdrawal from an extensive history of cocaine…

• Osnat Ben-shahar, Arianne D Sacramento, +9 authors K K Szumlinski
• The Journal of neuroscience : the official…
• 2013

Anomalies in prefrontal cortex (PFC) function are posited to underpin difficulties in learning to suppress drug-seeking behavior during abstinence. Because group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors… (More)

Binge Alcohol Drinking by Mice Requires Intact Group1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Signaling Within the Central Nucleus of the Amygdale

• Debra K. Cozzoli, Justin Courson, +10 authors K K Szumlinski
• Neuropsychopharmacology
• 2014

Despite the fact that binge alcohol drinking (intake resulting in blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) ⩾80 mg% within a 2-h period) is the most prevalent form of alcohol-use disorders (AUD), a large… (More)

Imbalances in prefrontal cortex CC-Homer1 versus CC-Homer2 expression promote cocaine preference.

• Alexis W. Ary, Kevin D. Lominac, +6 authors K K Szumlinski
• The Journal of neuroscience : the official…
• 2013

Homer postsynaptic scaffolding proteins regulate forebrain glutamate transmission and thus, are likely molecular candidates mediating hypofrontality in addiction. Protracted withdrawal from cocaine… (More)

Mesocorticolimbic monoamine correlates of methamphetamine sensitization and motivation

• Kevin D. Lominac, Courtney L. McKenna, +11 authors K K Szumlinski
• Front. Syst. Neurosci.
• 2014

Methamphetamine (MA) is a highly addictive psychomotor stimulant, with life-time prevalence rates of abuse ranging from 5-10% world-wide. Yet, a paucity of research exists regarding MA addiction… (More)

Protein Kinase C Epsilon Activity in the Nucleus Accumbens and Central Nucleus of the Amygdala Mediates Binge Alcohol Consumption

• Debra K. Cozzoli, Justin Courson, +12 authors K K Szumlinski
• Biological Psychiatry
• 2016

BACKGROUND Protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) is emerging as a potential target for the development of pharmacotherapies to treat alcohol use disorders, yet little is known regarding how a history of a… (More)

Cocaine craving during protracted withdrawal requires PKCε priming within vmPFC.

• Bailey W. Miller, Melissa G. Wroten, +6 authors K K Szumlinski
• Addiction biology
• 2017

In individuals with a history of drug taking, the capacity of drug-associated cues to elicit indices of drug craving intensifies or incubates with the passage of time during drug abstinence. This… (More)

Cocaine-elicited imbalances in ventromedial prefrontal cortex Homer1 versus Homer2 expression: implications for relapse.

• Adam T. Gould, Arianne D Sacramento, +5 authors K K Szumlinski
• Addiction biology
• 2015

Withdrawal from a history of extended access to self-administered cocaine produces a time-dependent intensification of drug seeking, which might relate to a cocaine-induced imbalance in the relative… (More)

• Kevin D. Lominac, Sema G. Quadir, +15 authors K K Szumlinski
• The European journal of neuroscience
• 2016

Methamphetamine (MA) is a widely misused, highly addictive psychostimulant that elicits pronounced deficits in neurocognitive function related to hypo-functioning of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Our… (More)
