Background: Dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens has been linked to the
reinforcing effects of ethanol, but the time course or relationship of this response to ethanol …

The actions of ethanol on extracellular dopamine levels in the n. accumbens were examined
in both anesthetized and unanesthetized rats using either in vivo voltammetry or …

To determine the site of action of systemic ethanol on dopaminergic function in the nucleus
accumbens, we compared the effect of intraperitoneal (ip) and local administration of …

Dopamine increases in the nucleus accumbens after ethanol administration in rats, but the
contributions of the core and shell subregions to this response are unclear. The goal of this …

Ethanol-induced accumbal dopamine elevations have been linked to ethanol consumption.
It is unclear, however, where along the mesolimbic dopamine system this effect is initiated …

Background: Mesolimbic dopamine is thought to play a role in the reinforcing properties of
ethanol, but ethanol‐induced changes in extracellular dopamine in the ventral striatum have …

In vivo microdialysis was used to examine changes in nucleus accumbens and striatal
dopamine, dihydrophenylacetic acid (DO‐PAC), and homovanillic acid (HVA) following …

We performed a quantitative microdialysis study to determine whether the increase in
dialysate dopamine from the nucleus accumbens caused by intraperitoneal administration of …

The purpose of this study was to examine the differential effects of intraperitoneal ethanol on
the mesoaccumbens dopamine (DA) system in Fischer 344 and Lewis rat strains, utilizing …

The effects of intraperitoneal administration of ethanol, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/kg body weight, on
the extracellular concentrations of dopamine (DA), serotonin (5‐HT), and their major …
