GABAergic mechanisms and plasticity in addiction
Addiction mechanisms starting from the functions of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway and ending with the drug-induced plasticity of the dopamine neurons via GABAergic regulation will be reviewed. New unexpected data on the effects of GABAergic drugs on ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons and reward behavior will be presented.
