Madangopal, Rajtarun, Brendan J. Tunstall, Lauren E. Komer, Sophia J. Weber, Jennifer K. Hoots, Veronica A. Lennon, Jennifer M. Bossert, David H. Epstein, Yavin Shaham, and Bruce T. Hope. "Discriminative stimuli are sufficient for incubation of cocaine craving." eLife 8 (2019): e44427.

Relapse can occur following exposure to cues that are found in the environment which trigger the memory of their drug-taking experience. These cues might be situations, places, sensations or objects and may grow in strength over time, a phenomenon called “incubation of craving”. Animal models of incubation have typically focused on how rats respond to cues that were present when they were previously taking drugs (conditioned stimuli) and cues indicating the availability of drugs (discriminative stimuli).
