1. Endogenous Opioids and Voluntary Ethanol Drinking : Consequences of Postnatal Environmental Influences in Rats
Sammanfattning : Genetic and environmental factors interact to determine the individual vulnerability to develop ethanol dependence. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying these processes are not fully understood. Endogenous opioid peptides have been suggested to contribute. LÄS MER
2. Maternal Separation in the Rat : The Short- and Long-term effects of Early-life Experience on Neuropeptides, Monoamines and Voluntary Ethanol Consumption
Sammanfattning : Early-life experience has profound effects on the individual’s neurobiology and behaviour later in life. The rodent animal experimental model maternal separation (MS) was used to study this more in detail. The MS model involves short and prolonged postnatal separations simulating an emotionally safe and stressful environment, respectively. LÄS MER
3. Neuropeptide Receptors as Treatment Targets in Alcohol Use Disorders
Sammanfattning : Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex disorder with multiple pathophysiological processes contributing to the initiation, progression and development of the disease state. AUD is a chronic relapsing disease with escalation of alcohol-intake over time in repeated cycles of tolerance, abstinence and relapse and hence, it is very difficult to treat. LÄS MER
4. The role of the dopamine system in the ability of (-)-OSU6162 to reduce voluntary alcohol drinking and binge-eating in the rat
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The dopamine system is involved in the reinforcing effects of both food and alcohol and is thus a potential treatment target for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and binge-eating disorder (BED). Alcohol use disorder is characterized by difficulties to control alcohol drinking and by drinking despite adverse consequences. LÄS MER
5. On regulation of hippocampal neurogenesis : roles of ethanol intake, physical activity and environment
Sammanfattning : The addiction research field struggles with the question of how long-term memories associated with addictions, which are likely to have a role in the relapse phenomenon, are formed. The work in this thesis has focused on structural adaptations and changes in plasticity genes in hippocampus, formed by both naturally awarding and drug-induced reward-seeking behaviors. LÄS MER
