Cocaine administration increases the fraction of CART cells in the rat nucleus accumbens that co-immunostain for c-Fos.

Abstract:

:In order to further test whether or not psychostimulant drugs activate CART peptide-containing cells in the nucleus accumbens, we examined the fraction of CART positive cells that co-immunostained for c-Fos after administration of saline or cocaine (10 and 25 mg/kg i.p.). There was about a 45% increase in the fraction of cells that stained for both CART and c-Fos after administration of cocaine, but there was no change in the fraction after administration of saline. Moreover, the increase was not found 24h after injection and is therefore reversible. These results support the notion that psychostimulant drugs activate CART cells in the nucleus accumbens, even under conditions where it is difficult to show a change in CART levels.
