RationaleSubstance use disorders are characterized by a loss of executive control over reward-based decision-making, and disruption of fronto-striatal connectivity has been implicated in this process. Sub-anesthetic ketamine has recently been shown to bolster fronto-striatal connectivity in drug-naïve subjects.ObjectivesThe influence of ketamine treatment was examined on the disruptive effects of cocaine on functional connectivity (FC) and on cocaine-seeking behavior in female rhesus monkeys.MethodsThree female rhesus were trained for unanesthetized MRI scanning. Each received three drug-naïve/abstinent pharmacological MRI scans with acute injections of saline, cocaine (0.3 mg/kg i.v.), and cocaine (0.3 mg/kg i.v.) 48-h after a ketamine treatment (low dose =0.345 mg/kg bolus + 0.256 mg/kg/h for 1 h; i.v.), and a fourth scan with saline injection following 2 months of daily cocaine self-administration. A separate cohort of five rhesus (4 female), all with extensive histories of cocaine exposure, underwent reinstatement testing 48 h after ketamine (or vehicle) treatment. Two sub-anesthetic doses were tested:low doseandhigh dose= 0.69 mg/kg + 0.512 mg/kg/h for 1 h.ResultsKetamine treatment attenuated the effects of cocaine on both global and fronto-striatal FC in drug-naïve/abstinent subjects. Two months of daily cocaine self-administration led to prolonged disruption of both global and fronto-striatal FC. Cocaine-seeking behavior during reinstatement was reduced following ketamine treatment at thelow dose, but nothigh dose.ConclusionThese findings illustrate the disruptive effects of cocaine on functional connectivity and provide evidence for the potential efficacy of ketamine as a treatment for stimulant use disorder.
