Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ethanol stimulates the dopaminergic mesoaccumbal pathway, which is thought to play a role in ethanol reinforcement. Mu (mu)-opioid (MOP) receptors modulate accumbal dopamine activity, but it is not clear whether MOP receptors are involved in the mechanism of ethanol-stimulated accumbal dopamine release. METHODS: We investigated the role that MOP receptors play in ethanol (2.0 g/kg)-stimulated accumbal...
