Kappa Opioid Receptor and Dynorphin Signaling in the Central Amygdala Regulates Alcohol Intake

2019-06-06

Abstract excerpt

Excessive alcohol drinking has been shown to modify brain circuitry to predispose individuals for future alcohol abuse. Previous studies have implicated the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) as an important site for mediating the somatic symptoms of withdrawal and for regulating alcohol intake. In addition, recent work has established a role for both the Kappa Opioid Receptor (KOR) and its endogenous ligand dy...
