ABSTRACT
The globus pallidus externus (GPe) is a central component of the basal ganglia circuit that acts as a gatekeeper of cocaine-induced behavioral plasticity. However, the molecular and circuit mechanisms underlying this function are unknown. Here, we show that GPe parvalbumin-positive (GPePV) cells mediate cocaine responses by selectively modulating ventral tegmental area dopamine (VTADA) cells projecting to the dorsomedial striatum (DMS). Interestingly, GPePV cell activity in cocaine-naive mice is correlated with behavioral responses following cocaine, effectively predicting cocaine sensitivity. Expression of the voltage-gated potassium channels KCNQ3 and KCNQ5 that control intrinsic cellular excitability following cocaine was downregulated, contributing to the elevation in GPePV cell excitability. Acutely activating channels containing KCNQ3 and/or KCNQ5 using the small molecule carnosic acid, a key psychoactive component of Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary) extract, reduced GPePV cell excitability and impaired cocaine reward, sensitization, and volitional cocaine intake, indicating its therapeutic potential to counteract psychostimulant use disorder.
