A Specific Limbic Circuit Underlies Opiate Withdrawal Memories

Abstract: Compulsive drug-seeking behavior and its renewal in former drug addicts is promoted by several situations, among which reactivation of drug withdrawal memories plays a crucial role. A neural hypothesis is that such memories reactivate the circuits involved in withdrawal itself and promote a motivational state leading to drug seeking or taking. To test this hypothesis, we have analyzed the neural circuits and cell populations recruited when opiate-dependent rats are reexposed to stimuli previously paired with w… Show more

“…This latter finding extends the data in previous reports not only by confirming that Zif268 ASO attenuates Zif268 upregulation in the BLA (Lee et al, 2005) and whole amygdala (Malkani et al, 2004) but also providing the novel finding that the effect is selective to the BLA, because there is no reduction of Zif268 protein in the CeN. The amygdalar nuclei form part of an interconnected circuit that has been suggested to underlie the aversive aspects of opiate withdrawal (Frenois et al, 2002(Frenois et al, , 2005. A wealth of evidence suggests that, whereas the CeN is activated during primary withdrawal, the BLA appears to be selectively involved in mediating the formation and expression of conditioned opiate withdrawal.…”

“…The neural mechanisms underlying the formation and expression of conditioned opiate withdrawal involve the amygdala (Schulteis et al, 2000;Frenois et al, 2005). One way to assess whether amygdala-dependent conditioned stimulus (CS)-drug withdrawal associations are similar to other CS-unconditioned stimulus (US) memories is to investigate the propensity of CSwithdrawal memories to undergo reconsolidation in the basolateral amygdala (BLA).…”

“…For instance, a predator (dog) stress elevates extracellular GABA content in the sheep amygdala (Cook, 2004). Moreover, naloxone-precipitated opiate withdrawal increases the number of c-fos-positive GABA neurons in the CeA of rats or mice (Bagley et al, 2011;Frenois et al, 2005). However, to our knowledge, studies assessing amygdala GABA biosynthesis in long-term drug-withdrawn animals are lacking.…”

“…In situ hybridization is performed as previously described (Ingallinesi et al, 2012) with antisense 35 S-labeled complementary RNA probes designed to recognize GAD 67 (Frenois et al, 2005), TH, and CRF (Ingallinesi et al, 2012) mRNAs. GAD 67 gene expression is assessed in the BLA, the CeA, the nucleus accumbens shell (NaccSh) and the cingulate cortex (CinCtx).…”

“…In self-administering DORÀ/À mice, however, BLA Fos induction was decreased as compared to vehicleinjected mice, suggesting an indirect effect of DORs in modulating BLA activity. Naloxone-precipitated withdrawal induces an opposite pattern of c-fos mRNA expression within two subpopulations of BLA neurons (Frenois et al, 2002(Frenois et al, , 2005). Involvement of CeA in self-administering subjects could reveal a feedback control of VTA activation by CeA GABAergic output neurons (See et al, 2003).…”
