   Abstract:
   Cocaine binges represent the most severe form of cocaine taking due to high levels of cocaine consumed and a potential loss of self-control over cocaine taking. Experimentally, regulation of intravenous cocaine self-administration is observed during binges as revealed by nearly constant sequential inter-infusion intervals, suggesting that pharmacological and unconditioned behavioral effects of cumulative cocaine leave intact its reinforcing effect.
