Dopaminergic dynamics underlying sex-specific cocaine reward

Dopaminergic dynamics underlying sex-specific cocaine reward

Sex differences in reward processing are at present poorly understood. Calipari and Juarezet al. report oestrous cycle-dependent fluctuations in firing of VTA dopamine neurons that drive alterations in DAT function expressed in terminals in the NAc. These differences underlie enhanced cocaine reward...
