Abstract Rats of the Sprague‐Dawley strain were maintained on ad libitum food and a forced‐
intake regimen of ethanol for up to 270 days. Bilateral application of dopamine (DA) into the …

The effect of local application of dopamine into the nucleus accumbens on locomotor activity
was studied in rats during and after withdrawal of long-term ethanol treatment. The bilateral …

Rats maintained for 10 days on a 10% ethanol solution as the sole source of fluid developed
marked tolerance to ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex, but no tolerance to the …

The effect of the ip administration of ethanol on the release of dopamine (DA) and on the
output of its main metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid, was …

The mesolimbic dopaminergic system seems to play an important role in the rewarding
effects of ethanol. Accordingly, ethanol administration to rats has been shown to stimulate …

The effect of ethanol challenge on the extracellular concentrations of dopamine, 3, 4-
dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid was studied in the ventral striatum of rats …

Previous studies have shown that lesions of the dopaminergic system in the brain produced
by an intracerebroventricular injection of the neurotoxin, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) …

Rats weaned at 16 days of age were treated with various ethanol concentrations (8–24%
w/v) for 270 days. The effect of the chronic ethanol treatment on the growth rate, the diurnal …

The role of central monoamines in the genetically determined influences on voluntary
ethanol consumption were examined by studying the extracellular levels of monoamines in …

Rats initiated to self-administer 10% ethanol (v/v) in an operant situation using the sucrose-
substitution technique received bilateral n. accumbens or caudate nucleus microinjections of …
