We investigate the alteration of resting-state functional connectivity across the brain following self-administration of cocaine in the rat. The result of group-independent component analysis (ICA) and dual regression reveals that cocaine self-administration orchestrates dynamic shifts in co-activity and functional connectivity across resting-state neuronal networks and nodes, several of which that do not directly receive dopamine input.
