Abstract
⺠Group II metabotropic glutamate (mGluRs) are involved in the effects of cocaine. ⺠We studied the density of group II mGluRs following chronic cocaine in monkeys. ⺠We found higher levels of binding in the dorsal striatum, not the ventral striatum. ⺠Therefore the dorsal striatum may be more sensitive to the effects of cocaine. ⺠Treatments for cocaine that target these receptors may be efficacious.
