The mesolimbic dopamine system projects from VTA to the nucles accumbens (NAc) and is a key neural substrate regulating drug reinforcment.Our previous experiment showed that the enhacement of acetylcholine in NAc blocks the heroin seeking induced by conditioned cues.The present study was to observe the activation patterns of NAc neurons marked by FosB during the instatement induced by condtioned cues after heroin withdrawal.The rats were self-administered heroin infusion under escalating FR 1-5 reinforcement schedule for two weeks.
