Herein, a chemogenetics approach (i.e., designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs)) was utilized in combination with a concurrent choice self-administration experimental paradigm to evaluate the role of the mesolimbic neurocircuit in the allocation of behavior. Pharmacological activation of hM3D(G<sub>q</sub>) DREADDs in neurons projecting from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the nucleus accumbens (AcbSh) induced a sex-dependent shift in the allocation of behavior in rodents transduced with DREADDs. Specifically, male DREADDs animals exhibited a robust increase in responding for a natural (i.e., sucrose) reward following pharmacological activation of the VTA-AcbSh circuit; female DREADDs rodents, in sharp contrast, displayed a prominent decrease in drug-reinforced (i.e., cocaine) responding. The sequential activation of hM3D(G<sub>q</sub>) and KORD DREADDs within the same neuronal population validated the role of the VTA-AcbSh circuit in reinforced responding for concurrently available natural and drug rewards.
