The critique of the selected journal articleThe group of authors form Department of physiology and neuroscience, medical university of South Carolina published an article about their findings about the role of amygdala in cocaine and heroin reinstatement in drug-seeking behavior entitled ``Drug addiction, relapse and the amygdala`` (See, Fuchs, Ledford, &McLaughlin, 2003).
The authors of the study had several research questions: 1) What is the role of basolateral amygdala (BLA) complex in mediating condition-cued reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior after cocaine and heroin self-administration in rats? 2) What is the role of BLA in acquisition and expression in condition-cued reinstatement? 3) What specific neurotransmitters are involved in regulation of condition-cued reinstatement in BLA? What is the role of cholinergic inputs to BLA in condition-cued model of addiction?
Conditioned stimuli play a critical role in drug relapse. The amygdala is important for associative learning process....
