Drugs of abuse elicit powerful experiences that engage populations of neurons broadly distributed throughout the brain. To determine how synaptic connectivity is organized to enable robust communication between populations of drug-activated neurons, we developed a complementary targeting system for monosynaptic rabies virus (RV) tracing that identifies direct inputs to activated versus nonactivated neuronal populations. Analysis of over 100,000 synaptic input neurons demonstrated that cocaine-ac ...[more]
