Silencing of BLA-to-NAcore projections inhibit cue-primed reinstatement. (A) Active lever pressing during self-administration and extinction training (n = 7). (B) ArchT-expressing terminal fibers in the NAcore after virus injection in the BLA. Scale bar, 300 μm. (C) Inactivation of ArchT-expressing fibers in the NAcore significantly reduces cue-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking. ^#p < 0.05 compared with extinction levels of lever pressing, using a paired Student’s t-test with probability values adjusted for multiple comparisons according to Bonferroni, Sham t(6) = 8.19, p < 0.001; Laser t(6) = 2.38, p = 0.110. *p < 0.05 comparing laser and sham treatments, t(6) = 3.54, p = 0.024.
