Abstract
Associations between alcohol and the places it is consumed are important at all stages of alcohol abuse and addiction. However, it is not clear how the associations are formed in humans or how they influence drinking, and there are few effective strategies to prevent their pathological effects on alcohol use. We used a human laboratory model to study the effects of alcohol environments on alcohol consumption. Healthy regular binge drinkers completed conditioned place preference (CPP) with 0 vs. 80 mg/100 mL alcohol (Paired Group). Control participants (Unpaired Group) completed sessions without explicit alcohol-room pairings. After conditioning, participants completed alcohol self-administration in either the alcohol- or no alcohol-paired room. Paired group participants reported greater subjective stimulation and euphoria, and consumed more alcohol in the alcohol-paired room in comparison to the no alcohol-paired room, and controls tested in either room. Moreover, the strength of conditioning significantly predicted drinking; participants who exhibited the strongest CPP consumed the most alcohol in the alcohol-paired room. This is the first empirical evidence that laboratory-conditioned alcohol environments directly influence drinking. The results also confirm the viability of the model to examine the mechanisms by which alcohol environments stimulate drinking and to test strategies to counteract their influence on behavior.

Abstract
Adult dentate gyrus (DG) neurogenesis is important for hippocampal-dependent learning and memory, but the role of new neurons in addiction-relevant learning and memory is unclear. To test the hypothesis that neurogenesis is involved in the vulnerability to morphine addiction, we ablated adult DG neurogenesis and examined morphine self-administration (MSA) and locomotor sensitization. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent hippocampal-focused, image-guided X-ray irradiation (IRR) to eliminate new DG neurons or sham treatment (Sham). Six weeks later, rats underwent either MSA (Sham = 16, IRR = 15) or locomotor sensitization (Sham = 12, IRR = 12). Over 21 days of MSA, IRR rats self-administered ~70 percent more morphine than Sham rats. After 28 days of withdrawal, IRR rats pressed the active lever 40 percent more than Sham during extinction. This was not a general enhancement of learning or locomotion, as IRR and Sham groups had similar operant learning and inactive lever presses. For locomotor sensitization, both IRR and Sham rats sensitized, but IRR rats sensitized faster and to a greater extent. Furthermore, dose-response revealed that IRR rats were more sensitive at a lower dose. Importantly, these increases in locomotor activity were not apparent after acute morphine administration and were not a byproduct of irradiation or post-irradiation recovery time. Therefore, these data, along with other previously published data, indicate that reduced hippocampal neurogenesis confers vulnerability for multiple classes of drugs. Thus, therapeutics to specifically increase or stabilize hippocampal neurogenesis could aid in preventing initial addiction as well as future relapse.

Post-trial dopaminergic modulation of conditioned catalepsy: A single apomorphine induced increase/decrease in dopaminergic activation immediately following a conditioned catalepsy response can reverse/enhance a haloperidol conditioned and sensitized catalepsy response. Behav Brain Res 2016; 311:87-98.

Abstract
Haloperidol can induce catalepsy and this drug effect can be conditioned as well as sensitized to contextual cues. We used a paired/unpaired Pavlovian conditioning protocol to establish haloperidol catalepsy conditioned and sensitized responses. Groups of rats were given 10 daily catalepsy tests following administration of vehicle (n=24) or haloperidol (1.0mg/kg) either paired (n=18) or unpaired (n=18) to testing. Subsequently, testing for conditioning was conducted and conditioning and sensitization of catalepsy were observed selectively in the paired group. Immediately following a second test for catalepsy conditioning, the groups were subdivided into 4 vehicle groups, 3 unpaired haloperidol groups and 3 paired haloperidol groups and were given one of three post-trial treatments (vehicle, 0.05mg/kg or 2.0mg/kg apomorphine). One day later the conditioned catalepsy test 3 was carried out and on the next day, a haloperidol challenge test was performed. The post-trial apomorphine treatments had major effects on the paired groups upon both conditioning and the haloperidol challenge test. The low dose apomorphine post-trial treatment enhanced both the conditioned and the haloperidol sensitized catalepsy responses. The high dose apomorphine post-trial treatment eliminated conditioned catalepsy and eliminated the initial acute catalepsy response to haloperidol that was induced in the vehicle control groups. These results demonstrate the sensitivity of conditioned drug cues to modification by increases/decreases in activity of the dopamine system in the immediate post-trial interval after a conditioning trial. This demonstration that post-trial dopaminergic drug treatments can modify conditioned drug behavior has broad implications for conditioned drug effects.

Abstract
RATIONALE Drug-induced sensitization in the mesocorticolimbic systems is thought to play an important role in certain aspects of drug addiction, including the involvement of drug-associated cues and environments in mediating drug-seeking behaviors. Our previous studies have identified the significance of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in the development of a single morphine exposure-induced behavioral sensitization. OBJECTIVES The present study expands upon these findings by investigating the effect of environment on the expression of behavioral sensitization induced by a single morphine exposure, and the potential involvement of Hsp70 protein levels in these effects. METHODS Mice were pretreated with a single morphine injection in test chambers (morphine-paired) or home cages (morphine-unpaired) on day 1 and challenged on day 2 or 8, in test chambers. Hsp70 expression in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) was analyzed after the challenge. RESULTS The expression of single morphine exposure-induced behavioral sensitization was accompanied by a significant increase in Hsp70 expression in NAc. In contrast, the unpaired morphine-treated group failed to exhibit behavioral sensitization or higher Hsp70 expression. Additionally, by adding a habituation process prior to the challenge, we demonstrated that conditioned hyperactivity, which was not accompanied by an increased expression of Hsp70, is not essential for behavioral sensitization. CONCLUSIONS Behavioral sensitization induced by a single morphine exposure in mice exhibits context and time dependency, with environmental context likely functioning via an inhibitory conditioning mechanism. Furthermore, alterations in Hsp70 expression in the NAc may represent a neurobiological sensitization mechanism mediating context- and time-dependent behavioral sensitization.

Abstract
The incentive sensitization theory of addiction posits that repeated exposure to drugs of abuse, like cocaine, can lead to long-term adaptations in the neural circuits that support motivated behavior, providing an account of pathological drug-seeking behavior. Although pre-clinical findings provide strong support for this theory, much remains unknown about the conditions that support incentive sensitization. The current study examined whether the mode of cocaine administration is an important factor governing that drug's long-term impact on behavior. Separate groups of rats were allowed either to self-administer intravenous cocaine or were given an equivalent number and distribution of unsignaled cocaine or saline infusions. During the subsequent test of incentive motivation (Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer), we found that rats with a history of cocaine self-administration showed strong cue-evoked food seeking, in contrast to rats given unsignaled cocaine or saline. This finding indicates that the manner in which cocaine is administered can determine its lasting behavioral effects, suggesting that subjective experiences during drug use play a critical role in the addiction process. Our findings may therefore have important implications for the study and treatment of compulsive drug seeking.

A cocaine context renews drug seeking preferentially in a subset of individuals. Neuropsychopharmacology 2014; 39:2816-23.

Abstract
Addiction is characterized by a high propensity for relapse, in part because cues associated with drugs can acquire Pavlovian incentive motivational properties, and acting as incentive stimuli, such cues can instigate and invigorate drug-seeking behavior. There is, however, considerable individual variation in the propensity to attribute incentive salience to reward cues. Discrete and localizable reward cues act as much more effective incentive stimuli in some rats ('sign-trackers', STs), than others ('goal-trackers', GTs). We asked whether similar individual variation exists for contextual cues associated with cocaine. Cocaine context conditioned motivation was quantified in two ways: (1) the ability of a cocaine context to evoke conditioned hyperactivity and (2) the ability of a context in which cocaine was previously self-administered to renew cocaine-seeking behavior. Finally, we assessed the effects of intra-accumbens core flupenthixol, a nonselective dopamine receptor antagonist, on context renewal. In contrast to studies using discrete cues, a cocaine context spurred greater conditioned hyperactivity, and more robustly renewed extinguished cocaine seeking in GTs than STs. In addition, cocaine context renewal was blocked by antagonism of dopamine receptors in the accumbens core. Thus, contextual cues associated with cocaine preferentially acquire motivational control over behavior in different individuals than do discrete cues, and in these individuals the ability of a cocaine context to create conditioned motivation for cocaine requires dopamine in the core of the nucleus accumbens. We speculate that different individuals may be preferentially sensitive to different 'triggers' of relapse.

Abstract
Previous literature suggests that physical exercise allowed by an unlimited access to a running wheel for several weeks can mitigate chronic neurobehavioral responsiveness to several addictive drugs in rodents. Here, the potential preventive effects of unlimited wheel-running on the initiation of psychomotor sensitization and the acquisition and extinction of conditioned place preference (CPP) induced by 10 mg/kg cocaine in C56BL/6J mice were assessed in two independent experiments. To this end, half of the mice were singly housed with a running wheel at 28 days of age for 10 weeks prior to psychopharmacological tests, during which housing conditions did not change, and the other half of mice were housed without running wheel. In Experiment 1, prior to initiating sensitization, psychomotor activity on the two first drug-free once-daily sessions was not affected by wheel-running. This was also found for the acute psychomotor-activating effect of cocaine on the first sensitization session. Psychomotor sensitization readily developed over the 9 following once-daily sessions in mice housed without wheel, whereas it was inhibited in mice housed with a wheel. However, that difference did not transfer to post-sensitization conditioned activity. In contrast with the sensitization results, mice housed with a wheel still expressed a clear-cut CPP which did not extinguish differently from that of the other group, a result in disaccord with previous studies reporting either an attenuating or an increasing effect of wheel-running on cocaine-induced conditioned reward. The available results together indicate that interactions between wheel-running and cocaine effects are far from being satisfactorily characterized.

Abstract
Learned associations between drugs and the places they are used are critical to the development of drug addiction. Contextual conditioning has long been studied in animals as an indirect measure of drug reward, but little is known about the process in humans. Here, we investigated de novo contextual conditioning with d-amphetamine in healthy humans (n = 34). Volunteers underwent four conditioning sessions conducted in two testing rooms with double-blind, alternating d-amphetamine (20 mg) and placebo administration. Before conditioning procedures began, they rated the two rooms to examine pre-existing preferences. One group (Paired, n = 19) always received d-amphetamine in their least preferred room and placebo in the other during conditioning sessions. Another group (Unpaired, n = 15) received d-amphetamine and placebo in both rooms. Subjective drug effects were monitored at repeated times. At a separate re-exposure test, preference ratings for the drug-associated room were increased among the Paired group only, and more subjects in the Paired than the Unpaired group switched their preference to their initially least preferred room. Also, ratings of d-amphetamine drug liking independently predicted room liking at test among the Paired group only. Further, Paired group subjects reported greater stimulation and drug craving after d-amphetamine on the second administration, relative to the first. This study supports preliminary findings that humans, like animals, develop a preference for a place associated with d-amphetamine that is related to its subjective effects. These findings also suggest that experiencing d-amphetamine in a consistent environment produces context-dependent changes in its subjective effects, including an enhanced rewarding efficacy and abuse potential.

Abstract
When a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a drug, an association is established between them that can induce two different responses: either an opponent response that counteracts the effect of the drug, or a response that is similar to that induced by the drug. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of the associations that can be established between the contextual cues and the administration of dopamine agonists or antagonists. Our hypothesis suggests that repeated administration of drugs that modulate dopaminergic activity in the presence of a specific context leads to the establishment of an association that subsequently results in a conditioned response to the context that is similar to that induced by the drug. To test this hypothesis, we conducted two experiments that revealed that contextual cues acquired the property to modulate pre-pulse inhibition by prior pairings of such context with the dopamine antagonist haloperidol (Experiment 1), and with the dopamine agonist d-amphetamine (Experiment 2). The implications of these results are discussed both at a theoretical level, and attending to the possibilities that could involve the use of context cues for the therapeutic administration of dopaminergic drugs.

Abstract
Orexins/hypocretins are hypothalamic peptides involved in arousal and wakefulness, but also play a critical role in drug addiction and reward-related behaviors. Here, we review the roles played by orexins in a variety of animal models of drug addiction, emphasizing both commonalities and differences for orexin's involvement in seeking of the major classes of abused drugs, as well as food. One common theme that emerges is an involvement of orexins in drug seeking triggered by external stimuli (e.g., cues, contexts or stressors). We also discuss the functional neuronal circuits in which orexins are embedded, and how these circuits mediate addiction-related behaviors, with particular focus on the role of orexin and glutamate interactions within the ventral tegmental area. Finally, we attempt to contextualize the role of orexins in reward by discussing ways in which these peptides, expressed in only a few thousand neurons in the brain, can have such wide-ranging effects on behavior.

Abstract
These experiments examined the development and persistence of methamphetamine-conditioned hyperactivity in Swiss-Webster mice. Experiments 1 and 2 examined the development of conditioned hyperactivity, varying the methamphetamine dose (0.25-2.0 mg/kg), the temporal injection parameters (continuous; experiment 1 or intermittent; experiment 2), and the comparison control group (saline; experiment 1 or unpaired; experiment 2). Experiment 3 examined the persistence of methamphetamine-conditioned hyperactivity by comparing mice 1 (immediate) or 28 (delay) days after drug withdrawal. In each experiment, several behavioral measures (vertical counts, distance traveled, and velocity) were recorded and temporal analyses conducted to assess methamphetamine-conditioned hyperactivity. In experiments 1 and 2, it was found that methamphetamine-conditioned hyperactivity was (i) dose-dependent, (ii) detected early in the session, and (iii) detected by a behavioral measure indicative of general activity (i.e. distance traveled), and (iv) varied as a function of the number of conditioning sessions. In experiment 3, it was found that conditioned hyperactivity persisted for 28 days, though was weakened by nonassociative factors, following methamphetamine withdrawal. Collectively, these results suggest that conditioned hyperactivity to methamphetamine is robust and persists after prolonged periods of drug withdrawal in mice. Furthermore, these results are consistent with an excitatory classical conditioning interpretation of conditioned hyperactivity.

Abstract
Both contralateral rotational behaviour and dyskinetic abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) are induced by the administration of l-DOPA in the unilateral 6-OHDA lesioned rat model of Parkinson's disease. Since rotational responses can be conditioned to environmental cues we have investigated the extent to which drug-induced AIMS may also be conditioned by exteroceptive cues and experience. In Experiment I, 6-OHDA lesioned rats received repeated daily injections of l-DOPA either in their home cage (control) or in association with a brief (20 mins) exposure to the rotometers (paired). To assess conditioning, all animals then received two tests in the rotometer bowls. Following injection of saline the paired group both rotated more contralaterally and displayed manifest AIMs, neither of which were exhibited by the control rats. Moreover, following injection of l-DOPA, the paired group showed a trend for increased AIMs compared to controls. Two further studies provided longer exposure to the conditioning environments in counterbalanced designs. Although, using these parameters, re-exposure in the presence of saline did not induce context-dependent AIMs, a strong context-specific component of the sensitised response to l-DOPA was seen; chronic administration of drug produced a significantly stronger behavioural response in animals paired with a particular environment for drug administration than controls. This data suggests that part of the sensitisation of behavioural responding to l-DOPA administration is not solely a pharmacological phenomenon, but is also conditioned to the environmental context in which the drug is administered. This has clear implications for the clinical observation and experimental measurement of drug-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease patients and animal models.

Abstract
Repeated administration of cocaine induces heightened behavioral hyperactivity termed sensitization. Although NK-3 receptors have been shown to modulate acute cocaine-induced behaviors, their role in behavioral sensitization is unknown. The present study investigated whether NK-3 receptor blockade altered behavioral sensitization to cocaine. Additionally, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) has been shown to be involved in dopamine receptor signaling and in development of sensitization; therefore regulation of GSK3 activity in the nucleus accumbens was also investigated. Administration of the NK-3 receptor antagonist SB 222200 (5 mg/kg, s.c.) prior to repeated cocaine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) prevented the development of sensitized responses after a cocaine challenge. Pre-treatment with SB 222200 before a cocaine challenge also blocked expression of sensitization. Decrease in GSK3 activity demonstrated by increased phosphorylation of GSK3α and GSK3β was detected 20 mins after an acute cocaine injection. In contrast, a cocaine challenge failed to alter phosphorylation of GSK3α and GSK3β in sensitized mice. SB 222200 prior to repeated cocaine resulted in increased phosphorylation of GSK3α and GSK3β akin to changes following acute cocaine. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the involvement of NK-3 receptors in development and expression of behavioral sensitization and in regulation of GSK3 activity in the nucleus accumbens after repeated cocaine.

Abstract
AbstractConverging data from different disciplines indicate that central nervous system processes are capable of influencing immune responses. This paper concentrates on recent studies documenting behaviorally conditioned suppression and enhancement of immunity. Exposing rats or mice to a conditioned stimulus previously paired with an immunomodulating agent results in alterations in humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to antigenic stimuli, and unreinforced reexposures to the conditioned stimuli result in extinction of the conditioned response. Although the magnitude of such conditioning effects has not been large, the phenomenon has been independently verified under a variety of experimental conditions. The biological impact of conditioned alterations in immune function is illustrated by studies in which conditioning operations were applied in the pharmacotherapy of autoimmune disease in New Zealand mice. In conditioned animals, substituting conditioned stimuli for active drugs delays the onset of autoimmune disease relative to nonconditioned animals using a dose of immunosuppressive drug that, by itself, is ineffective in modifying the progression of disease. The hypothesis that such conditioning effects are mediated by elevations in adrenocortical steroid levels receives no support from available data. Despite its capacity for self-regulation, it appears that the immune system is integrated with other psychophysiological processes and subject to modulation by the brain.

Abstract
Lobeline is being tested in clinical trials as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine abuse and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Preclinical research demonstrates that lobeline produces locomotor hypoactivity apart from its therapeutic effects; however, the hypothesis that there are sex differences in hypoactivity or in the development of tolerance to its locomotor depressant effects has not been investigated. Periadolescent rats were injected with saline to determine baseline locomotor activity. Animals received saline or lobeline (1.0-10mg/kg) daily for 7 consecutive days (post natal days 29-35), and were challenged with saline 24h later to assess baseline activity. Lobeline produced hypoactivity in total horizontal activity and center distance travelled. Tolerance developed to the lobeline-induced hypoactivity and sex differences in lobeline tolerance were observed on both measures. Females acquired tolerance to lobeline 5.6 mg/kg at a slower rate than males. Saline challenge revealed a linear dose-dependent trend of hyperactivity on both measures, which indicates that rats exhibited altered locomotor behavior 24h after the final lobeline treatment. These findings demonstrate sex differences in the hypoactive response to lobeline prior to puberty and suggest that females may experience more locomotor depressant effects than males. Chronic lobeline may induce hyperactivity following cessation of treatment.

Abstract
Psychostimulants like amphetamine and methylphenidate (MPD) are used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is marked by developmentally inappropriate inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Neuropsychological analyses indicate that ADHD patients are impaired on tasks of behavioral inhibition, reward reversal, and working memory, which are functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and are modulated by the mesocortical dopamine (DA) system. Non-specific electrical lesioning of PFC eliminated the expression of behavioral sensitization elicited by chronic MPD administration. Behavioral sensitization is the progressive augmentation of locomotor activity as a result of repetitive (chronic) exposure to the drug. It is believed that the sensitization to chronic drug treatment is caused due to an increase in DA in the mesocorticolimbic DA system, which includes the PFC. Therefore, this study investigated the role of PFC DA in mediating the behavioral sensitization to repeated administration of MPD in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. On experimental day (ED) 1, the behavior was recorded post-saline injection. On ED 2, the rats were divided into three groups--control, sham and bilateral 6-OHDA treated group; and the sham and 6-OHDA treated groups underwent respective surgeries. After 5 days of rest following surgery, the post-surgery baseline was recorded on ED 8 following a saline injection. All three groups received 2.5 mg/kg MPD for 6 days (from ED 9 to ED 14), followed by a 3-day washout period (ED 15 to ED 18). On ED 19, a rechallenge injection of 2.5 mg/kg MPD was given and locomotor activity was recorded. It was found that the 6-OHDA lesion group failed to exhibit behavioral sensitization to MPD. The involvement of the dopaminergic afferents of PFC in behavioral sensitization to MPD is discussed.

Abstract
Nicotine causes dose-dependent alterations in accuracy on the differential-reinforcement of low-rate responding (DRL) 29.5-s schedule in rats. The current investigation evaluated whether nicotine-associated contextual cues can produce nicotine-like perturbations in DRL-schedule performance in the absence of nicotine. Nicotine and saline administrations occurred just prior to DRL 29.5-s schedule responding for sucrose solution, and two different experimental contexts (differentiated by visual, olfactory, and tactile cues) were utilized. All subjects (N=16) experienced two consecutive sessions of DRL-schedule responding per day. The experimental group (n=8) was exposed to saline immediately prior to the first session and 0.3mg/kg nicotine before the second session, and the context was changed between sessions. This sequence of saline and then nicotine administration, paired with two reliable contexts, persisted for 12 consecutive days and successive nicotine administrations corresponded with increasingly poorer performance on the DRL 29.5-s schedule. No nicotine was administered for days 13-20 during context testing, and the nicotine-associated context produced response disinhibition on the DRL schedule. Two control groups were included in the design; subjects in one control group (n=4) received saline in each context to verify that the contexts themselves were not exerting control over operant responding. To assess how explicit and non-explicit pairings of nicotine and contextual cues influenced DRL behavior, subjects in a second control group (n=4) were given nicotine prior to the second session, but the contexts were not altered between sessions. The results from this experiment suggest that environmental stimuli associated with nicotine exposure can come to elicit nicotine-induced performance decrements on a DRL 29.5-s schedule.

The contribution of the central nucleus of the amygdala to individual differences in amphetamine-induced hyperactivity. Behav Brain Res 2009; 202:11-8.

Abstract
Rats classified as high responders (HR) based on their response to an inescapable novel environment self-administer more amphetamine and have greater amphetamine-induced sensitization than rats classified as low responders (LR). Recent research suggests that the central nucleus of the amygdala (ACe) contributes to the elevated self-administration in HR rats. Therefore, the current study examined the role of the ACe in the expression of both amphetamine-induced sensitization and conditioned hyperactivity in HR and LR rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were screened for their response to inescapable novelty and classified as HR or LR rats. Rats were implanted with bilateral cannulae into the ACe and received amphetamine (1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline injections immediately prior to 1-h locomotor sessions. Following five training sessions, all rats received an infusion of muscimol (0.5 microg/0.5 microl) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) followed by a saline injection to measure conditioned hyperactivity. HR rats displayed conditioned hyperactivity, while LR rats did not, suggesting that HR and LR rats differ in the expression of conditioned hyperactivity. While ACe inactivation attenuated the expression of conditioned hyperactivity, it did not differentially affect HR and LR rats. Following additional training and a 10-day rest period, all rats were then tested for amphetamine-induced sensitization (1.0 mg/kg) following an infusion of muscimol or PBS. Inactivation of the ACe attenuated the expression of sensitization only in HR rats. These results suggest the ACe contributes to the greater amphetamine sensitization in HR rats.

Abstract
The repeated administration of psychostimulants induces an enhanced behavioral response to a subsequent drug challenge. This behavioral sensitization is proposed to model the increased drug craving observed in human psychostimulant abusers. Using in vivo extracellular recordings from identified ventral tegmental area dopamine (DA) neurons, we report that amphetamine-sensitized rats display an activation of ventral hippocampal neuron firing and a significantly greater number of spontaneously active DA neurons compared with saline-treated rats. Moreover, TTX inactivation of the ventral hippocampus restores DA neuron activity to control levels and also blocks the expression of locomotor sensitization. Taken as a whole, we propose that behavioral sensitization to psychostimulant drugs is attributable, at least in part, to persistent activation of the ventral hippocampus-nucleus accumbens pathway, with the resultant increase in tonic DA neuron firing enabling an abnormally higher response to subsequent psychostimulant administration.

Abstract
Repeated intermittent exposure to psychostimulants can lead to long-lasting sensitization of the drugs' behavioral and biochemical effects. Such findings have figured importantly in recent theories of drug addiction proposing that sensitized nucleus accumbens (NAcc) dopamine (DA) overflow in particular acts in concert with other alterations in the neurochemistry of this nucleus to promote drug seeking and self-administration. Yet, experiments in rodents, non-human primates and humans have not always detected behavioral or biochemical sensitization following drug exposure, bringing into doubt the utility of this model. In an effort to reconcile apparent discrepancies in the literature, this review assesses conditions that might affect the expression of sensitization during testing. Specifically, the role played by conditioned cues is reviewed. A number of reports strongly support a potent and critical role for conditioned stimuli in the expression of sensitization. Findings suggest that stimuli associated either with the presence or absence of drug can respectively facilitate or inhibit sensitized responding. It is concluded that the presence or absence of such stimuli during testing for sensitization in animal and human studies could significantly affect the results obtained. It is necessary to consider this possibility especially when interpreting the results of studies that fail to observe sensitized responding.

Opposite environmental regulation of heroin and amphetamine self-administration in the rat. Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2008; 198:395-404.

Abstract
RATIONALE The circumstances of drug taking are thought to play a role in drug abuse but the evidence of it is anecdotal. Previous studies have shown that the intravenous self-administration of cocaine is facilitated in rats non-residing in the test chambers relative to rats that live in the test chambers at all times. We investigated here whether environmental context could exert its modulatory influence on heroin and amphetamine self-administration as well. MATERIALS AND METHODS Independent groups of rats were given the possibility to self-administer different doses of heroin or amphetamine (12.5, 25.0, or 50.0 microg/kg). Some animals were housed in the self-administration chambers (resident groups) whereas other rats were transported to the self-administration chambers only for the test sessions (non-resident groups). RESULTS Amphetamine-reinforcing effects were more pronounced in non-resident rats than in resident rats, as previously reported for cocaine. Quite unexpectedly, the opposite was found for heroin. Because of this surprising dissociation, some of the rats trained to self-administer amphetamine were later given the opportunity to self-administer heroin. Also in this case, resident rats took more heroin than non-resident rats. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest an unforeseen dissociation between opioid and psychostimulant reward and demonstrate that even in the laboratory rat some contexts are associated with the propensity to self-administer more opioid than psychostimulant drugs and vice versa, thus indicating that drug taking is influenced not only by economical or cultural factors but also can be modulated at a much more basic level by the setting in which drugs are experienced.

Abstract
Adolescents differ from adults in their acute sensitivity to several drugs of abuse, but little is known about the long-term neurobehavioral effects of adolescent drug exposure. To explore this further, we evaluated the locomotor responses to repeated cocaine administration in adolescent and adult male DBA/2J mice and alterations in extracellular levels of dopamine (DA) and glutamate (GLU) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in response to a subsequent cocaine challenge. Adolescent and adult mice were treated daily with saline or cocaine (10 mg/kg, i.p) for 9 consecutive days. Ten days following the last injection, animals were implanted with microdialysis probes and 24 h later microdialysis samples were collected before and after an acute cocaine challenge. Adolescents but not adults demonstrated development of behavioral sensitization to cocaine. Microdialysis procedures revealed that cocaine-treated mice displayed greater peak increases in extracellular DA in response to a subsequent cocaine challenge as compared to saline-treated mice, in contrast with lower peak increases in extracellular GLU. While adults exhibited greater peaks in extracellular DA in response to cocaine than adolescents did, adolescent mice presented a more rapid onset of peak extracellular DA levels than adults. Our results indicate differences in the behavioral and neurochemical responses to cocaine in adolescent versus adult mice, which may be relevant to the increased risk of developing addiction in humans who are exposed to drugs of abuse during adolescence.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that amphetamine (AMPH)-induced conditioned motor sensitization is accompanied by cellular activation (measured by Fos immunoreactivity) and synaptophysin immunoreactivity in reward-related brain areas. Forty-eight rats were tested for conditioned motor sensitization using a conditioning paradigm that was performed in a three-chambered apparatus. Rats underwent two drug pairings with 1.0 mg/kg AMPH in one outer chamber and, on alternate days, were paired with saline in the other. On the fifth day, relative to the first AMPH treatment, AMPH administration increased motor activity in the AMPH-paired context but not in the saline-paired context. Relative to the first saline treatment, saline on the fifth day produced a conditioned increase in motor activity when given in the chamber previously paired with AMPH, and saline given in the saline-paired context produced a conditioned decrease in motor activity. AMPH administered in the AMPH-paired context increased the density of both Fos and synaptophysin immunoreactivity in the dentate gyrus, cornu ammonis (CA)1, CA3, basolateral amygdala and dorsolateral striatum. This pairing between context and drug increased Fos but not synaptophysin immunoreactivity in the nucleus accumbens core and shell. Saline administered in the AMPH-paired context increased the density of Fos immunoreactivity in the basolateral amygdala and nucleus accumbens core. These data indicate that the basolateral amygdala-nucleus accumbens core pathway is necessary for the context-elicited conditioned motor responses, while the hippocampus encodes the spatial context.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that addictive drugs presented daily at fixed times produce circadian (oscillator-driven) anticipatory and evoked activity rhythms in rats. Other studies have shown that environmental cues paired with addictive drugs produce tolerance to drug effects and elicit craving behavior when presented without the drug. The present study tested these circadian entrainment and paired-cue conditioning effects together. This study compared the ability of daily nicotine and saline injections at different fixed times to entrain pre-injection (anticipatory) and post-injection (evoked) circadian activity rhythms in two groups of female Sprague-Dawley rats. One group (Paired) had an environmental cue (a tone) paired with the effects of the nicotine injection, and the second group (Unpaired) had the tone paired with the effects of the saline injection. The rats were housed singly for 56 days in chambers with attached wheels under constant dim light and rate-limited food access. During three separate injection phases, nicotine and saline were administered daily at different fixed times, and the tone was presented at the second injection time. Three multi-day test phases examined circadian activity (a) without injections or tone, (b) with the tone alone at normal and novel times, and (c) with the tone absent and with injections occurring at normal and at novel times. The results showed that nicotine entrained both pre- and post-injection circadian oscillators, and the nicotine-paired tone interfered with pre-injection anticipatory activity.

Abstract
RATIONALE Behavioural sensitization is a long lasting phenomenon that has been proposed to be involved in drug addiction. Although the expression of cocaine-induced sensitization has been associated with the activity of the mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons, little is known about the transcriptional adaptations of these neurons to a new challenge with cocaine long after cessation of repeated exposure to the drug. OBJECTIVES We studied the time course of the mRNA levels of three main regulatory elements of dopaminergic transmission after a challenge with cocaine (15 mg/kg) that followed 21 days of withdrawal from a cocaine pretreatment (20 mg/kg, ip, every 2 days for 21 days) in C57Bl/6J mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were placed 45 min in activity chambers and were killed 45 min, 2 h or 24 h after the challenge injection. Dopamine transporter (DAT), D2 auto-receptor (D2) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) mRNA levels were assessed by in situ hybridization in the ventral tegmental area and the substantia nigra compacta. RESULTS As compared to vehicle challenge, cocaine challenge in vehicle pretreated mice induced a rapid increase (+208%) in DAT mRNA (45 min) followed by a delayed decrease (-70%) (24 h), while TH and D2 mRNA were both increased (+45%) 24 h after the challenge. In cocaine pretreated mice, cocaine-induced short-term increase and long-term decrease in DAT mRNA levels were amplified (+328%) and reduced (-40%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Repeated exposure to cocaine alters the transcriptional response of DA neurons to a new cocaine challenge long after cessation of repeated exposure to the drug. They point to the DAT mRNA as a major responsive element to a new presentation of cocaine.

Abstract
Addiction is a state of compulsive drug use; despite treatment and other attempts to control drug taking, addiction tends to persist. Clinical and laboratory observations have converged on the hypothesis that addiction represents the pathological usurpation of neural processes that normally serve reward-related learning. The major substrates of persistent compulsive drug use are hypothesized to be molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie long-term associative memories in several forebrain circuits (involving the ventral and dorsal striatum and prefrontal cortex) that receive input from midbrain dopamine neurons. Here we review progress in identifying candidate mechanisms of addiction.

Abstract
We found evidence that the effects of exposure to the stimulation environment on the convulsions and interictal behaviour of basolateral amygdala (BA)-kindled rats are the result of Pavlovian conditioning. In Experiment 1, the rats first received 45 BA stimuli in one environment (CS+) and 45 sham stimuli in another environment (CS-). During this first phase of the experiment, the CS+ and CS- began to exert differential effects on interictal behaviour and convulsions. Then, during the second phase, rats received 45 stimuli and 45 sham stimuli, either as before in their original CS+ and CS- (nonreversal rats) or with their original CS+ and CS- interchanged (reversal rats). During the second phase, the CS+ and CS- continued to exert the same pattern of differential effects on the interictal behaviour and convulsions of the nonreversal rats, whereas the reversal rats began to display the reverse pattern. In Experiment 2, rats received 60 sham stimuli in one environment (CS1). Then, half of the rats received 30 stimuli in a second environment (CS2) and 30 sham stimuli in CS1 (no-pre-exposure rats), whereas the other half (pre-exposure rats) received 30 stimuli and 30 sham stimuli in CS1. Pre-exposure to the stimulation environment attenuated the kindled convulsions. These findings confirm that the conditioned effects of kindling are mediated by a Pavlovian mechanism.

Abstract
Numerous studies support a role for the endogenous opioid system in cocaine-influenced behavior. Few of these studies, however, selectively delineate a role for the mu opioid receptor (MOR) in this regard. This investigation examined if the MOR modulates cocaine-induced behavior in mice using a 17-base antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS ODN) directed against the MOR coding sequence 16-32. Specifically, cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization and conditioned reward were investigated. For the sensitization study, C57BL/6J mice received eight intermittent i.c.v. infusions of saline, mismatch oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) (20 microg/4 microl) or AS ODN (20 microg/4 microl) over 20 days. Mice also received concomitant once daily i.p. injections of saline (4 ml/kg) or cocaine (15 mg/kg) for 10 days. There was a 7-day withdrawal period, after which all mice were challenged with cocaine (15 mg/kg) to test for behavioral sensitization. For the conditioned place preference (CPP) study, mice received five i.c.v. infusions of mismatch ODN or MOR AS ODN (days 1-5). An unbiased counterbalanced conditioning procedure was used where mice were conditioned with saline (4 ml/kg, i.p.) and cocaine (15 mg/kg, i.p.) on alternate days for four sessions (days 3-6). Mice were tested on day 7 for CPP. Immediately following testing, [3H]DAMGO (D-Ala2, N-Me-Phe4, Gly-ol5-enkephalin) receptor binding to brain homogenates was conducted. MOR AS attenuated cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization and conditioned reward. MOR AS ODN also reduced [3H]DAMGO binding. Collectively, these findings implicate the MOR as playing an important neuromodulatory role in the behavioral effects of cocaine in mice.

Abstract
The authors argue that drug taking is an operant behavior that is reinforced by the drug itself. The effectiveness of a drug as a reinforcer is modulated by sensitization and habituation to the drug as it is consumed. According to this model, drug taking stops when habituation reduces the ability of the drug to reinforce its own consumption. Drug taking resumes when spontaneous recovery restores the effectiveness of the drug as a reinforcer. This parsimonious model provides a framework for understanding many findings in the drug literature, including acute and chronic tolerance, the effect of deprivation on consumption, the contextual specificity of tolerance, polydrug abuse, cross-sensitization between stress and drugs, behavioral sensitization, priming, and reinstatement. Although this model cannot explain all aspects of drug taking (e.g., the effect of cognitive manipulations), it has many implications for understanding and controlling human drug consumption and addiction.

Abstract
From a functional perspective, Pavlovian conditioning involves learning about conditioned stimuli (CSs) that have a pre-existing relation to an unconditioned stimulus (US) rather than learning about arbitrary or neutral CSs. In addition, the most important product of learning involves changes in how the organism responds to the US, not in how it responds to the CS, because the US is the more biologically relevant stimulus. These concepts are illustrated using examples from a variety of behavioral and physiological situations including caloric intake and digestion, breast feeding, poison-avoidance learning, eyeblink conditioning, sexual conditioning, fear conditioning, aggression, and drug tolerance and sensitization.

Abstract
Because neural activity is highly energy consuming and heat producing, brain temperature offers a reliable, real-time measure of an animal's activity state and its changes induced by environmental and drug challenges. Therefore, it allows evaluation of the activity state of an animal preceding drug administration and its relation to subsequent drug-induced neural effects. This approach was used to explore the state dependency of cocaine's effects. Brain and body temperatures, as well as locomotion were measured simultaneously in rats during repeated, daily administration of cocaine (15 mg/kg i.p., daily for 5 days) under different experimental conditions. The drug was administered via (a). a chronically implanted catheter in quiet resting conditions, (b). an injection made under quiet rest or (c). an injection under activated conditions associated with placement in the cage. Although brain temperature and movement increased after cocaine administration in each condition, cocaine's action (evaluated as cocaine-saline difference for both parameters) was situational. Catheter-administered cocaine induced the strongest movement activation and robust, monophasic temperature increase, which remained relatively stable following each subsequent drug infusion. Cocaine injected during quiet and, especially, activated conditions, induced a weaker locomotor activation, while the temperature response (evaluated as drug-saline difference) had a biphasic pattern. Cocaine initially inhibited the temperature increases seen in saline-treated animals (0-20 min) and then induced a more prolonged hyperthermia, which was about twofold weaker than that seen after catheter-administered drug. Although movement activation gradually increased following repeated treatment in activated conditions, the magnitude of this sensitized motor response barely reached the levels induced by the initial cocaine administration via catheter. These data suggest that both the acute effects of cocaine in the brain and their change following repeated drug administration are dependent upon the ongoing neural activity state of the animal. Cocaine's interaction with this activity state is a crucial factor determining the behavioral effects of this drug, including state-dependent motor sensitization.

Abstract
Repeated administrations of addictive drugs produce long-lasting changes in brain and behavior. However, drug-induced neurobehavioral plasticity is not a mere function of the neuropharmacological actions of drugs, but the result of complex drug-environment interactions. In the present review we summarize results obtained in a series of studies using an animal model of drug-environment interaction, showing that environmental context and past drug history interact to modulate the effects of amphetamine, cocaine and morphine on behavior, gene expression and structural plasticity. These findings may help shed some light on the conditions necessary for addictive drugs to enduringly alter brain and behavior.

Abstract
Incentive motivation theory ascribes a critical role to reward-associated stimuli in the generation and maintenance of goal-directed behavior. Repeated psychomotor stimulant treatment, in addition to producing sensitization to the psychomotor-activating effects, can enhance the incentive salience of reward-associated cues and increase their ability to influence behavior. In the present study, we sought to investigate this incentive sensitization effect further by developing a model of conditioned reinforcement (CR) in the mouse and investigating the effects of a sensitizing treatment regimen of amphetamine on CR. Furthermore, we assessed the role of contextual stimuli in amphetamine-induced potentiation of CR. We found that mice responded selectively on a lever resulting in the presentation of a cue previously associated with 30% condensed milk solution, indicating that the cue had attained rewarding properties. Prior treatment with amphetamine (4 x 0.5 mg/kg i.p.) resulted in psychomotor sensitization and enhanced subsequent responding for the CR. Furthermore, this enhancement of responding for the cue occurred independent of the drug-paired context, whereas the sensitized locomotor response was only observed when mice were tested in the same environment as that in which they had received previous amphetamine. These results demonstrate that the CR paradigm previously developed in the rat can be successfully adapted for use in the mouse, and suggest that behavioral sensitization to amphetamine increases the rewarding properties (incentive salience) of reward-paired cues, independent of the drug-paired context.

Abstract
Repeated administration of apomorphine leads to a context-dependent pecking response sensitization. Previously sensitized pigeons (Columba livia) challenged with saline in the same context show a conditioned response (CR). The authors studied the effects of intrastriatal injections of the dopamine (D(1)) antagonist SCH-23390 on both the sensitized response and the CR. When coadministered with apomorphine, SCH-23390 inhibited the initial response to apomorphine, prevented the development of sensitization, and impaired the maintenance of an already developed sensitization. However, SCH-23390 had no effect on the retrieval of a previously established CR. It is concluded that the activation of D(1) receptors in the caudal avian striatum is necessary for the acquisition and maintenance of the sensitization, but not for the expression, of the CR.

Abstract
Outbred male Sprague-Dawley rats can be classified as either low or high cocaine responders (LCRs or HCRs, respectively) based on their locomotor response to acute cocaine. Concomitant measurement of dopamine clearance in these rats revealed that the differential behavioral responses are associated with the magnitude of dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibition by cocaine. Here, we investigated several factors that might contribute to cocaine-induced behavioral variability and its association with differential inhibition of DAT function. In rats classified as LCRs or HCRs after 10 mg/kg cocaine injection, we found no differences in (1) novelty-induced locomotion, (2) cocaine levels in dorsal striatum or nucleus accumbens (NAc), (3) DAT number or affinity in NAc, or (4) DAT affinity for cocaine in NAc. In rats given 20 mg/kg cocaine, behavior was more uniform across individuals, but still warranted separation into LCR/HCR categories. Additionally, we analyzed the stability of the LCR/HCR classification made during the first test with 10 or 20 mg/kg cocaine by retesting rats 7 days later with saline or cocaine (10 or 20 mg/kg). Before injection, HCRs were more active relative to LCRs and to their own behavior on the first test day. Following cocaine, LCRs and HCRs exhibited similar drug-induced changes in locomotion, but there were unique effects that depended on the cocaine dose given on the first and second test days. Our results argue against several likely explanations for individual differences in cocaine-induced behavior and highlight the influence of a single cocaine exposure on subsequent behavioral responses to the drug.

Abstract
The dopamine agonist apomorphine (apo) elicits stereotyped pecking bouts in pigeons, a response which increases with successive apo injections. The present study sought, first, to confirm the hypothesis that this sensitization arises through a Pavlovian conditioning driven by both external and internal cues; and, secondly, to advance the hypothesis that during this learning the dopaminergic activation only initiates a process that probably ends in glutamatergic synapse modifications. The conditioned nature of the sensitization to apo was examined in two separate experiments that compared context contingent and context uncontingent apo treatments. The role of dopaminergic mechanisms in the acquisition, maintenance and retrieval of sensitization-conditioned pecking was examined by administering the dopamine antagonist haloperidol (hal) either before, during or after apo sensitization treatments. A contingency between context and apo was found to be essential for the acquisition and retrieval of apo-sensitized pecking. A pretreatment with hal did not curtail a subsequent sensitization to apo. When hal was co-administrated with apo it suppressed the initial pecking response to apo and blocked the acquisition of sensitized responding. A pecking response normally observed when apo-sensitized pigeons are challenged with saline (sal) in the same cage in which they were sensitized, was also absent. When hal was co-administered with apo after the sensitization was complete this led at first to an only partial apo response suppression. When treated with hal in the same cage, already sensitized pigeons responded much as if they had been challenged with sal. The sensitization induced by apo was thus blocked by hal co-administered during acquisition, but during the maintenance or retrieval phase hal did not impair a previously sensitized responding. It is concluded that when pigeons are sensitized to apo, dopaminergic mechanisms are implicated in initiating the neural modifications that underlie the conditioned sensitization, but that they themselves are not importantly altered.
