Inhibition of CSF1R, a receptor involved in microglia viability, alters behavioral and molecular changes induced by cocaine
Abstract Different data suggest that microglia may participate in the drug addiction process as these cells respond to neurochemical changes induced by the administration of these substances. In order to study the role of microglia in drug abuse, Swiss mice aged 8–9 weeks were treated with the CSF1R...

In order to study the role of microglia in drug abuse, Swiss mice aged 8–9 weeks were treated with the CSF1R inhibitor PLX3397 (40 mg/kg, p.o.) and submitted to behavioral sensitization or conditioned place preference (CPP) induced by cocaine (15 mg/kg, i.p.).
