Abstract excerpt

Co-occurring alcohol and nicotine dependence is common, as is alcohol use disorder and overeating. However, major risk genes for these disorders need to be identified. Certain subtypes of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the ventral tegmental area (a reward node) have preclinically been shown to be important for alcohol reward. Therefore the aim was to investigate nicotine receptor subunit genes in a...
