The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is widely implicated as a structure that integrates
both appetitive and aversive stimuli. While intrinsic CeA microcircuits primarily consist of …

Alcohol dependence is a chronically relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug-
seeking and drug-taking, loss of control in limiting intake, and the emergence of a …

Alcohol dependence is a chronically relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug

The central amygdala (CeA) plays a central role in physiologic and behavioral responses to
fearful stimuli, stressful stimuli, and drug-related stimuli. The CeA receives dense inputs from …

Alcohol use disorders are characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and drug-taking, loss
of control in limiting intake, and withdrawal syndrome in the absence of drug. The central …

The amygdala plays an important role in associating sensory stimuli with aversive or
appetitive outcomes. Conditioning procedures potentiate inputs to the amygdala, which …

The central amygdala (CeA) is uniquely situated to function as an interface between stress-
and addiction-related processes. This brain region has long been attributed an important …

The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is a key hub of the neural circuitry regulating
alcohol and stress interactions. However, the exact neuronal populations that govern this …

It has been hypothesized that anxiety disorders play an important role in the initiation and
maintenance of alcohol drinking behaviors. However, the molecular mechanisms for the …

The commonalities between different phases of stress and alcohol use as well as the high
comorbidity between alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and anxiety disorders suggest common …
