Abstract: Evidence suggests the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is involved in Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs), which might be mediated by an imbalance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), GRα and GRβ, activity. GRβ antagonizes the GRα isoform to cause… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/adb.12763
Abstract: Ethanol and psychostimulant use disorders exhibit comorbidity in humans and cross‐sensitization in animal models, but the neurobiological underpinnings of this are not well understood. Ethanol acutely increases dopamine neuron excitability, and psychostimulants such as cocaine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/adb.13178
Abstract: Alcohol dependence results in long‐lasting neuroadaptive changes in meso‐corticolimbic system, especially in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which drives relapse‐like ethanol drinking upon abstinence or withdrawal. Within NAc, altered glutamate homeostasis is one of the neuroadaptive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0269881116681457
Abstract: Binge ethanol drinking is an emerging pattern of excessive consumption among adolescents and young adults. Repeated ethanol intoxication has negative consequences during critical periods of brain development. Therefore, binge ethanol intake represents a vulnerability factor… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2018.00325
Abstract: We previously determined that repeated binge ethanol drinking produced sex differences in the regulation of signaling downstream of Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of adult C57BL/6J mice. The purpose of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2022.834880
Abstract: Stress can increase ethanol drinking, and evidence confirms an association between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the development of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Exposure to predator odor is considered a traumatic stressor, and predator stress… read more here.

Abstract: Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex and chronic relapsing brain disease, which is often co-morbid with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. AUD phenotypes differ in men and women. Although genetic factors… read more here.
