Abstract:Background
Across multiple levels of investigation, there appear to be convergent neuronal processes underlying substance use and other motivated behaviors (i.e., the pursuit and consumption of rewarding substances). The consumption of alcohol and sweet, high‐fat food engages many of the same brain regions, especially, the ventral striatum. In the current study, we hypothesized that ventral striatal local field potentials (LFPs) recorded during self‐administration sessions could be used to detect when the cons… Show more
