The role of the infralimbic cortex and dorsolateral striatum mediating cocaine-induced impairments in behavioral flexibility:

cortex

The infralimbic cortex and dorsolateral striatum are implicated in the formation of transition from goal-directed to habitual control of behavior. In this project we will use in vivo electrophysiology and optogenetics to determine if activation of these circuits contribute to this transition in rats with a history of cocaine exposure.
