Once a stable level of responding was reached, lever pressing was extinguished. Animals were then tested for reinstatement and sacrificed immediately following the presentation of either the S or S+ discriminative stimuli, and Fos-protein expression was assessed in thalamic and epithalamic regions. Interestingly, significant variation was observed in reinstatement behaviour, allowing a comparison between high-reinstating (HR), low-reinstating (LR) and control animals. Compared with LR animals, HR animals exhibited increased Fos-protein expression in the PVT, intermediodorsal thalamus and the medial and lateral divisions of the habenula. Our data provide evidence that activation of thalamic and epithalamic nuclei is associated with propensity to reinstate to cocaine-seeking elicited by drug-related cues. We also build upon existing data highlighting the importance of the PVT in reinstatement behaviour.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:23:44 AEDT ]]> Functional changes in deep dorsal horn interneurons following spinal cord injury are enhanced with different durations of exercise training https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26891 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:40 AEDT ]]> Electrophysiological characterization of spontaneous recovery in deep dorsal horn interneurons after incomplete spinal cord injury https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26619 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:00 AEDT ]]>
