Here we examined whether female rats show similar effects of CP94253 during maintenance as males across estrous cycle phases.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Female rats trained on a fixed ratio 5 (FR5) cocaine reinforcement schedule were tested for the effects of CP94253 (5.6 mg\/kg, s.c.) on cocaine reinforcement rate during each phase of the estrous cycle, with access to either low (0.075 and 0.1875) or high (0.375 and 0.75) cocaine doses available for 1 h sequentially in descending dose order. Other female and male rats trained on a progressive ratio (PR) schedule of cocaine or sucrose reinforcement were tested for CP94253 (0, 3.2, 5.6, and 10 mg\/kg, s.c.) effects on reinforcement rate in 3-h sessions. CP94253 effects on responding during sucrose cue-reactivity were also examined post-abstinence.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Regardless of sex, CP94253 enhanced breakpoints on the PR schedule during maintenance of cocaine SA but attenuated breakpoints for sucrose reinforcement and decreased responding during sucrose cue-reactivity. FR results showed that CP94253 attenuated cocaine reinforcement rate during all estrous cycle phases except metestrus.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Overall, we suggest that CP94253 increased incentive motivation for cocaine during maintenance of SA in female and male rats, yet decreased motivation for sucrose. We also suggest that 5-HT<jats:sub>1B<\/jats:sub>Rs modulate motivation similarly across sexes except when females are in metestrus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnbeh.2022.1020146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,1]],"date-time":"2022-11-01T04:46:11Z","timestamp":1667277971000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["5-HT1B receptor agonist enhances breakpoint for cocaine on a progressive ratio (PR) schedule during maintenance of self-administration in female rats but reduces breakpoint for sucrose"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Samantha N.","family":"Scott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brielle A.","family":"Ruscitti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raul","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toan T.","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin M.","family":"Blattner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin E.","family":"Blass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janet L.","family":"Neisewander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"297","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pbb.2004.12.001","article-title":"Stimulation of 5-HT1B receptors decreases cocaine- and sucrose-seeking behavior","volume":"80","author":"Acosta","year":"2005","journal-title":"Pharmacol.
