Sensitization of hypervigilance effects of cocaine can be induced by NK3 receptor activation in marmoset monkeys

Cocaine is a widely abused drug which can result in the establishment of addiction. The neurokinin3-receptor (NK3-R) has been linked to cocaine addiction by genetic, epigenetic, and pharmacological studies suggesting that a cocaine-induced increase in NK3-R signaling may contribute to the establishment of cocaine addiction-related behaviors. Here we measured cocaine-induced sensitization of vigilance- and locomotor behaviors in marmoset monkeys...
