PG - 363-9 AB - Individual neurons were recorded extracellularly in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) of rats during cocaine self-administration sessions. NAcc neurons exhibited a variety of phasic changes in firing rate within the few seconds before and/or after cocaine self-infusion. Analysis of the topographical distribution of the phasic firing patterns showed that there were no differences between NAcc subterritories in the nature of phasic changes in firing exhibited by neurons in relation to cocaine self-infusion. However, the prevalence of phasic firing was lower in the border regions of the caudal shell and within the caudal shell itself relative to the remainder of the NAcc.
