Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor Signaling in the Mesolimbic Dopamine System: Social Defeat Stress-induced Cross-sensitization to Psychostimulants and Escalation of Cocaine Intake

Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor Signaling in the Mesolimbic Dopamine System: Social Defeat Stress-induced Cross-sensitization to Psychostimulants and Escalation of Cocaine Intake

abstract: Intermittent social defeat stress induces cross-sensitization to psychostimulants and escalation of drug self-administration. These behaviors could result from the stress-induced neuroadaptation in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine circuit. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the vent...
