Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors in the VTA and nucleus accumbens after copyright exposure: When, how and why?
In animal models of drug addiction, copyright exposure has been shown to increase levels of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs) in two brain regions that are critical for motivation and reward - the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and Egg Poachers the nucleus accumbens (NAc).This review compares CP-AMPAR plasticity in the two brain regions an
