Previous research has shown that the basolateral amygdala (BLA) mediates stimulus-reward learning, including drug-cue associations, while the dorsolateral caudate-putamen (dlCPu) primarily mediates stimulus-response (habit) learning. Recent evidence has indicated that the dlCPu may be critical in cocaine-seeking following extended self-administration, but it remains unknown whether the dlCPu plays a role in early formation of drug-cue associations. The current study used a model of Pavlovian learning to compare the roles of the BLA and dlCPu in the consolidation of cocaine-cue associations that maintain cocaine-seeking during cue-induced reinstatement. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats self-administered cocaine (0.2 mg/50 µl infusion, IV) in the absence of cues for 6 days (2-h/day). Immediately following a single 1-h classical conditioning (CC) session in which passive cocaine infusions were paired with a light+tone cue, animals received bilateral infusions of the GABA receptor agonists, baclofen+muscimol (B/M, 1.0/0.1 mM), or vehicle into the BLA or dlCPu. Following additional cocaine self-administration (5 days) and subsequent extinction (no cocaine or cues, 7 days), the ability of the previously cocaine-paired cues to reinstate cocaine-seeking was assessed. Inactivation of the BLA, but not the dlCPu, immediately following the CC session impaired the consolidation of cocaine-cue associations as seen by decreased cue-induced reinstatement. These results extend previous findings that the BLA mediates the consolidation of learned associations that drive cocaine-seeking during subsequent reinstatement and indicate that the dlCPu does not play a role during initial stimulus-drug associative learning.
