Opposing mechanisms mediate morphine- and cocaine-induced generation of silent synapses
Cocaine and morphine produce similar addiction-related behaviors, but different adaptations at accumbens synapses. The authors explain this paradox, showing that both drugs generate silent synapses in distinct...

Maturation of silent synapses in amygdala-accumbens projection contributes to incubation of cocaine craving
In rats self-administering cocaine, drug seeking behavior induced by a cocaine-paired cue increases progressively during cocaine withdrawal. The authors detected silent synapses in basolateral amygdala–to–nucl...
