Drug addiction is a social and medical problem that must be urgently addressed. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is closely related to addiction-related learning memory, and γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptor (GABA B R) is a potential target for the treatment of drug addiction. However, the role of GABA B R activity levels in the NAc in cocaine addiction is unclear. ⋯ GABA B R activity in the NAc is involved in the regulation of cocaine addiction and may play an important role through key mRNA pathways.
