Abstract excerpt
We used behavioral pharmacology to characterize heterozygous knockin mice with mutations (Q266I or M287L) in the α1 subunit of the glycine receptor (GlyR) (J Pharmacol Exp Ther 340:304-316, 2012). These mutations were designed to reduce (M287L) or eliminate (Q266I) ethanol potentiation of GlyR function. We asked which behavioral effects of ethanol would be reduced more in the Q266I mutant than the M287L and found...
