Schematic Summary (IMAGE) Kanazawa University Caption This is a schematic summary of this study. Activation of mPFC pyramidal (excitatory), but not GABAergic (inhibitory), neurons leads to the formation and retrieval of cocaine-associated memories (upper). Cell-type specific suppression of mPFC pyramidal neurons by DREADD technology inhibits the formation and retrieval of cocaine-associated memories (lower).
