    Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA
    Eur J Neurosci 30:1358-69. 2009
    ..Taken together, these results suggest that cocaine priming-induced reinstatement of drug seeking is mediated in part by a serial polysynaptic limbic subcircuit encompassing the mPFC, PPTg/LDT and VTA...
