c-Fos expression associated with reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior by response-contingent conditioned cues.

29 Sep 2009 The capability of cocaine cues to generate craving in cocaine-dependent humans, even after extended abstinence, is modeled in rats using cue reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior. We investigated neural activity associated with ... Read more...

Medication adherence in successful kidney transplant recipients.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To explore the medication-taking behavior of successful kidney transplant recipients and determine what behaviors were common among this group. METHODS: Open-ended interviews were conducted by telephone with 19 individuals who had ... Read more...

Cocaine self-administration alters the relative effectiveness of multiple memory systems during extinction.

21 Apr 2009 Rats were trained to run a straight-alley maze for an oral cocaine or sucrose vehicle solution reward, followed by either response or latent extinction training procedures that engage neuroanatomically dissociable "habit" and "cognitive" memory ... Read more...
