Drug addiction is a chronic disease defined by a complex set of characteristics, including loss of control over drug intake and persistent drug craving, which primarily affects a small percentage of people who try drugs. Although many models have been developed to study individual aspects of drug use, there is great translational value in having an animal model that encompasses multiple aspects of the human disease, including the variation in severity observed in humans. Here, we describe an intermittent access model of cocaine self-administration that produces a subset of rats that display many of the core features of addiction, including escalation of drug intake, a binge-like pattern of drug use, robust locomotor sensitization, and high levels of drug-seeking during cue-induced reinstatement. This group is compared with rats that have the same drug history but do not develop this pattern of drug-taking and drug-seeking, as well as rats that undergo a traditional continuous access paradigm. Finally, we observe that high levels of cocaine consumption produce long-term changes in intracellular calcium signaling in the dorsomedial striatum.
