Implication of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase in the Expression of Natural Reward: Evidence Not Found

Many studies have implicated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in drug-rewarding properties. Yet, only few investigated whether ERK also mediates the naturally rewarding stimuli. In this study, we compared ERK activation in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) after cocaine reward and after positiv...
