Abstract excerpt
Dysfunction of glutamate neurotransmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of alcohol use disorders (AUD). Neurogranin (Ng) is exclusively expressed in the brain and mediates N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypo-function by regulating the intracellular calcium-calmodulin (Ca2+ -CaM) pathway. Ng null mice (Ng-/- mice) demonstrate increased alcohol drinking compared...
