Repeated drug consumption may progress to problematic use by triggering neuroplastic adaptations that attenuate sensitivity to natural rewards while increasing reactivity to craving and drug cues. Using an established laboratory model aimed at evaluating behavioral shifts in the salience of cocaine now vs. money later, we evaluated the effect on cocaine use of a single sub-anesthetic dose of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine, which converging evidence suggests may work to correct problematic neuroadaptations and restore motivation for non-drug rewards. We found that ketamine, as compared to the control, significantly decreased cocaine self-administration by 67% relative to baseline at greater than 24 hours post-infusion, the most robust reduction observed to date in human cocaine users and the first to involve mechanisms other than stimulant or dopamine agonist effects. These findings signal new directions in medication development for substance use disorders.
