The authors show that rostral ventral pallidum projections to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are activated during cue-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking, and DREADD inhibition of these projections blocks this behavior. In contrast, projections from the caudal ventral pallidum are necessary for cocaine-primed, but not cue-induced, reinstatement of cocaine seeking.
