Stress induces reinstatement of extinguished cocaine conditioned place preference by a sequential signaling via neuropeptide S, orexin, and endocannabinoid

Yu-Hsien Chou et al.

Summary: The study reveals that NPS released during stress activates orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus, leading to the release of orexins in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and reinstating cocaine seeking behavior through an endocannabinoid/CB(1) receptor-mediated signaling pathway.

Blockade of orexin receptors in the ventral tegmental area reduced the extinction period of the lateral hypothalamic-induced conditioned place preference in rats

Maedeh Mahmoudi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of intra-VTA orexin receptors on the duration of CPP extinction period induced by LH stimulation, and found that OXRs in the VTA play crucial roles in the maintenance of reward processes.

Cannabidiol efficiently suppressed the acquisition and expression of methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference in the rat

Mahsa Anooshe et al.

Summary: The study found that Cannabidiol (CBD) has an inhibitory effect on Methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference, with a more potent impact in the acquisition phase. This suggests that CBD could be a beneficial compound for treating drug abuse, but further research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness.

Involvement of Hippocampal D1-Like Dopamine Receptors in the Inhibitory Effect of Cannabidiol on Acquisition and Expression of Methamphetamine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference

Kiana Nouri et al.

Summary: In this study, the impact of CBD on the rewarding characteristic of METH was evaluated through CPP, and it was found that CBD inhibited the rewarding properties of METH via D1-like dopamine receptors in the CA1 region of the hippocampus.
