Deletion of the GABAA α2-subunit does not alter self administration of cocaine or reinstatement of cocaine seeking.

Psychopharmacology - 1 Jul 2014

Dixon C I, Halbout B, King S L, Stephens D N

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: GABAA receptors containing α2-subunits are highly represented in brain areas that are involved in motivation and reward, and have been associated with addiction to several drugs, including cocaine. We have shown previously that a deletion of the α2-subunit results in an absence of sensitisation to cocaine. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the reinforcing properties of cocaine in GABAA α2-subunit knockout...
