  1. Neuropeptide S and Reward

  2. Is something rewarding? • Will they self administer? • Most self admin for cocaine • If you shut down the reward system, do they stop self admin?

  3. Wistar Rats • All NPS injections into ventricle • Hits WHOLE brain • Angiotensin to confirm

  4. N P S Vehicle N P S Vehicle Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  5. Animals will self administer NPS • Suggests NPS is rewarding Self Administration NPS

  6. Dopamine (DA) and Reward • NPSR mRNA expressed in VTA – NOT in NAcc • Xu 2007 VTA NAcc DA D1 GABA = NPSR mRNA found here

  7. Dopamine antagonism reduces NPS self administration Reward system (DA) Self Administration NPS

  8. NPS & Hypocretin • ICV NPS → ↑Orx neuron activity (cfos) • Cannella 2013 • NPSR mRNA in hypothalamus containing Orx neurons • Xu 2007

  9. Hypocretin and Reward VTA NAcc D1 GABA LH = NPSR mRNA found here

  10. Orexin antagonism reduces NPS self administration NPS

  11. Conditioned Place Preference (CPP)

  12. The CPP thing N P S

  13. Cannella 2013

  14. Locomotion

  15. Cue assisted lever pressing • A light was used in conjunction with the lever • Works better • Responding to light or NPS Also.. • NPS increases locomotion • More lever pressing?

  16. I SAID ONION PIZZA DAMNIT!!! (Thanks Justin)
