Mechanism-guided identification of antidepressant G protein-coupled receptor drug targets

Hermany Munguba, Anisul Arefin, Ryota Hasegawa et al. · Cell · 2026

From the methods
Conditioned place preference (CPP). The task consisted of one session per day for eight days in a conditioning box with two visually distinct chambers, one with grey walls and smooth floor and one with checkered walls and textured floor. A wall with a center pass separated the chambers (Maze Engineers, Skokie, IL).
Physical restraint induces conditioned place aversion and region-specific c-Fos activation in mice

Ella Reinders, Maya Tondravi, Se Rin Lee et al. · Neuroscience Letters · 2026

From the methods
CPA took place over 5 days using an arena comprised of two chambers, distinguishable by visual cues (stripes/dots on the chamber wall), connected by a central corridor (MazeEngineers) (Figure 1a).
A small molecule ligand for the novel pain target, GPR171, produces minimal reward in mice

Max V. McDermott, Akila Ram, Matthew T. Mattoon et al. · Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior · 2023

From the methods
The CPP apparatus (Maze Engineers) consisted of two distinct chambers (34 × 25 cm) separated by a neutral middle compartment (6 × 25 cm).
Early-life stress and ovarian hormones alter transcriptional regulation in the nucleus accumbens resulting in sex-specific responses to cocaine

Devin Rocks, Ivana Jaric, Fabio Bellia et al. · Cell Reports · 2023

From the methods
...the CPP phenotype to the C57Bl/6J cohort of animals across sex. Our CPP apparatus is custom made (Maze Engineers; Skokie, IL) and consists of two conditioning chambers separated by a corridor with sliding...
Differential expression of nicotine withdrawal as a function of developmental age in the rat

Robin J. Keeley, Tom E. Mayer, Li-Ming Hsu et al. · Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior · 2019

From the methods
Chambers consisted of opaque Plexiglas boxes, custom made by Maze Engineers (Glenview, IL, USA), connected via an alleyway.
Reward behaviour is regulated by the strength of hippocampus–nucleus accumbens synapses

Tara A. LeGates, Mark D. Kvarta, Jessica R. Tooley et al. · Nature · 2018

From the methods
The ability of optogenetic potentiation to induce CPP was evaluated using a three chamber CPP arena (Maze Engineers), which consisted of two chambers distinguishable by visual cues and a smaller chamber connecting the two rooms.
