Cocaine-Evoked Locomotor Activity Negatively Correlates With the Expression of Neuromedin U Receptor 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens

Cocaine-Evoked Locomotor Activity Negatively Correlates With the Expression of Neuromedin U Receptor 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens

Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is characterized by repeated cycles of drug seeking and drug taking. Currently, there are no available pharmacotherapies to treat CUD, partially due to a lack of a mechanistic understanding of cocaine-evoked alterations in the brain that drive drug-related behaviors.
