TL;DR
Results indicate that the withdrawal period is a critical modulator of drug seeking provoked by re-exposure to cocaine cues, but not cocaine itself, and that while the incubation of responsiveness to cocaine cue is a long lasting phenomenon, it is not permanent.
Abstract
Results indicate that the withdrawal period is a critical modulator of drug seeking provoked by re-exposure to cocaine cues, but not cocaine itself. Results also indicate that while the incubation of responsiveness to cocaine cues is a long lasting phenomenon, it is not permanent.

Brain Research ReviewsThe neural basis of drug craving: An incentive-sensitization theory of addiction
7,357 Citations1993Thompson Robinson
S sensitization of incentive salience can produce addictive behavior even if the expectation of drug pleasure or the aversive properties of withdrawal are diminished and even in the face of strong disincentives, including the loss of reputation, job, home and family.
PsychopharmacologyThe reinstatement model of drug relapse: history, methodology and major findings
1,604 Citations2002Yavin Shaham, Uri Shalev +3 more
The data derived from studies using the reinstatement model suggest that the neuronal events that mediate drug-, cue- and stress-induced reinstatement of drug seeking are not identical, and that the duration of the withdrawal period following cocaine and heroin self-administration has a profound effect on reinstatement induced by drug cues and stress.
NeuropharmacologyGoal-directed instrumental action: contingency and incentive learning and their cortical substrates
1,541 Citations1998Bernard W. Balleine, Anthony Dickinson
The process of incentive learning is evident in the acquisition of control over performance by primary motivational states and the prelimbic area of prefrontal cortex plays a role in the contingency learning, whereas the incentive learning for food rewards involves the insular cortex.

The proposed convergence of priming stimuli into the glutamatergic projection from anterior cingulate to the accumbens core combined with the changes in glutamate transmission and signaling that accompany repeated psychostimulant administration points to the potential value of pharmacological agents that manipulate glutamate release or postsynaptic glutamate receptor signaling and trafficking in treating primed relapse in addicts.

404 Citations1996Suzanne Erb, Yavin Shaham +1 more
In rats trained to self-administer cocaine, exposure to acute intermittent footshock stress induces reinstatement of cocaine-taking behavior after prolonged extinction sessions and after a 4- to 6-week drug-free period; an effect comparable to that induced by a priming injection of cocaine.

An animal model of cocaine relapse shows that AMPA and NMDA receptors in the nucleus accumbens have opposing roles in the reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior, and indicates that the glutamatergic pathway from the mPFC to the nucleus Accumbens plays an important role in cocaine priming-induced reinstate of drug seeking.

PsychopharmacologyCocaine-seeking behavior after extended cocaine-free periods in rats: role of conditioned stimuli
21 Citations2002Svetlana Semenova, Athina Markou
The results indicated that non-contingent CS presentation had no effect after 23 h of no access to cocaine, increased drug- seeking behavior on day 7 of the cocaine-free period independent of binge exposure, and a strong tendency to increase drug-seeking behavior only in binge-exposed rats, on day 30 of the drugs-seeking period, illustrating the interactive effects of conditioned stimuli with the extended cocaine- free period.
