Stimulated dopamine overflow and alpha-synuclein expression in the nucleus accumbens core distinguish rats bred for differential ethanol preference.

Journal of neurochemistry - 1 Aug 2010

Pelkonen Anssi, Hiltunen Mikko, Kiianmaa Kalervo, Yavich Leonid

Abstract excerpt

The key neurochemical systems and structures involved in the predisposition to substance abuse and preference to ethanol (EtOH) are not known in detail but clearly dopamine (DA) is an important modulator of addiction. Recent data indicate that alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), a pre-synaptic protein,...
