Ultrastructural analysis of sex differences in nucleus accumbens synaptic connectivity

Despite robust sex differences in behavioral responses to drugs of abuse, relatively little is known about structural sex differences in synaptic connectivity of reward circuits such as in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Previously, we showed that distal dendritic spine density on medium spiny neurons...
