The basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a crucial role in conditioned place preference (CPP) for addictive drugs. However, neural signaling associated with methamphetamine (METH) craving and seeking remained to be investigated. This study characterized local field potential (LFP) oscillatory patterns in the BLA and conditioned place preference induced by METH-related context. Male Swiss albino ICR mice were deeply anesthetized for LFP intracranial electrode implantation in the BLA. Control and METH groups received sessions to learn to associate saline-paired and METH-paired compartments of the CPP apparatus with saline and METH injections, respectively, for 10 days. LFP signals and exploring behavior were recorded simultaneously during pre- and post-conditioning phases. Time spent in METH-paired compartment was normalized and expressed as CPP scores. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm was used to analyze LFP powers of 8 discrete frequency ranges (delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma I-IV). During post-conditioning phase of METH CPP with METH cues, statistical analysis revealed that METH group significantly increased time spent in METH-paired compartment. Significant suppressions of theta and alpha powers were observed. Phase-amplitude cross frequency coupling analyses confirmed significant increases in maximal modulation index (MI), frequency for phase of slow wave and MI of theta-gamma II coupling. Taken together, LFP oscillation in the BLA was sensitive in association with METH CPP. These research findings might suggest the underlying mechanisms of drug reward learning and adaptive changes in the BLA in acquisition of METH CPP and dependence.
