Individual differences in prelimbic neural representation of food and cocaine seeking

Summary: The prelimbic cortex is involved in operant reward seeking. However, the precise nature of its activity patterns and whether/how they differ between different types of rewards are largely unknown. We use miniscope calcium imaging to observe prelimbic activity during both food and cocaine se...

description Summary: The prelimbic cortex is involved in operant reward seeking. However, the precise nature of its activity patterns and whether/how they differ between different types of rewards are largely unknown. We use miniscope calcium imaging to observe prelimbic activity during both food and cocaine seeking in freely behaving mice. We find that neurobehavioral representations remain stable across days within individual mice. Unexpectedly, our data reveal significant individual differences: some mice display high similarity in their prelimbic cortex activity patterns for both food and cocaine seeking, while others show no such overlap. These findings suggest that individual differences in the neural mechanisms underlying food and cocaine seeking could be a critical factor to consider when developing future addiction treatment strategies.
