Alcoholism is a complex disease with hereditary influence. To elucidate genetic contribution, microarrays were used to probe for differences in gene expression in limbic system structures in strains of rats selected for several generations for alcohol preference: Warsaw High Preferring (WHP) strain and Warsaw Low Preferring (WLP) strain. Microarray analyses of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), hippocampus...
The selected lines of rats WHP (Warsaw High Preferring) and WLP (Warsaw Low Preferring) determine the animal model to investigate neurobiological mechanism of ethanol action. WHP rats drink excessive amounts of alcohol whereas WLP rats drink only small amounts. Patterns of ethanol consumption in WHP and WLP lines are constant. Due to cessation of alcohol intake the WHP rats have developed features...
Rats were given 14 “daily” (6 doses/week) s.c. doses of 0.9% NaCl (Sal), morphine (Mor), or methadone (Met), then left untreated for 14 days, and fi nally challenged with Mor, except that half each of the Sal groups were given Sal instead. All the rats were then tested for open fi eld behavior, and were sacrifi ced 2 h post-challenge. Striatal (CPu), accumbal (Acb), sensorimotor cortex (S1) and prefrontal...
