Abstract

Despite many years of work on dopaminergic mechanisms of alcohol addiction, much of this evidence remains mostly correlative in nature. Fortunately, the latest technological advances have provided the opportunity to explore the causal role of neurochemical changes within brain regions involved in addictive behaviors. In this work using optogenetics, we have attempted to answer the question of how dopamine release dynamics control the motivational component of alcohol drinking behavior.

Summary

Introduction

Оптогенетические подходы к анализу роли дофаминергической нейромедиации в развитии зависимости от алкоголя: от корреляций к механизмам. Несмотря на многолетнее изучение роли дофаминергических механизмов в процессе формирования алкогольной зависимости, полученные доказательства являются косвенными и корреляционными по своей сущности. В представленной работе мы использовали новейший оптогенетический подход для выявления роли дофаминергической нейромедиации в контроле мотивационного компонента потребления алкоголя.
