Abstract: The limbic system has been the center of a myriad of studies related to reward and addiction. In particular, it appears that forms of cellular memory and synaptic plasticity in the limbic system play a role in promoting substance use disorders. This lecture presents an overview of this topic and discusses recent discoveries, with particular emphasis on the role of optogenetics in helping understand both reward-related behaviors and substance use disorders.
