A hallmark of addiction is the loss of control over drug intake, which is seen only in a fraction of those exposed to stimulant drugs like cocaine. The cellular mechanisms underlying vulnerability or resistance to compulsive drug use are still unknown. Here we show that individual variability in the development of highly motivated and perseverative behavior toward cocaine is associated with synaptic plasticity in medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors (D2-MSNs) in the nucleus accumbens of mice. Potentiation of glutamatergic inputs onto indirect pathway D2-MSNs was associated with resilience towards compulsive cocaine seeking. Inhibition of D2-MSNs using a chemicogenetic approach enhanced the motivation to obtain cocaine while optogenetic activation of D2-MSNs suppressed cocaine self-administration. These results indicate that recruitment of D2-MSNs in nucleus accumbens functions to restrain cocaine self-administration and serves as a natural protective mechanism in drug-exposed individuals.
