Check out the latest pub from our lab to learn about the relationship between habits and punishment resistant-cocaine seek! 😎
New pub alert! We explored a link between habits and punishment-resistant cocaine seeking in rats. Habitual cocaine seeking did not predict resistance, but inflexible use of habits (not engaging goal-directed control) was related to resistance. ♂️♀️ data. https://t.co/qsDz8j8Kpn
