Approaches to understanding the neurobiological regulation of ethanol self-administration: a young investigators forum.
The article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 RSA Meeting in Denver, Colorado. The co-chairs were Cristine L. Czachowski and Craig J. Slawecki. The presentations were (1) Behavioral assessment of ethanol seeking and self-administration, by Cristine L. Czachowski; (2) Electrophysiological measures of ethanol preference and reinforcing efficacy, by Craig J. Slawecki; (3) Genetic differences in locomotor sensitization and reward phenotypes associated with bidirectional selection for alcohol preference in mice, by Nicholas J. Grahame; (4) Transgenic and knockout mouse models: Powerful tools for investigating the neurobiology of alcoholism, by Todd E. Thiele; and (5) Neurochemical characteristics that may predict ethanol preference in selected P and NP rats: A quantitative microdialysis study, by Simon N. Katner.
