Ethanol Withdrawal Drives Anxiety-Related Behaviors by Reducing M-type Potassium Channel Activity in the Lateral Habenula

TL;DR: In rats at 24 h withdrawal from systemic ethanol administration, the basal firing rate and the excitability of LHb neurons in brain slices was higher, whereas the amplitude of medium afterhyperpolarization and M-type K+ currents were smaller, when compared to ethanol naive rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of AMPA receptor and CaMKII activity in the lateral habenula reduces depressive-like behavior and alcohol intake in rats.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that CaMKII‐AMPAR signaling in the LHb exemplifies a molecular basis for depressive‐like symptoms during ethanol withdrawal and that inhibition of this signaling pathway may offer a new therapeutic approach to address the comorbidity of alcohol abuse and depression.
Journal Article

Chronic intermittent voluntary alcohol drinking induces hyperalgesia in Sprague-Dawley rats.

TL;DR: The results suggest that utilizing the SD rat under the IA2BC procedure could be a useful animal model with heuristic value for exploring the mechanisms underlying hyperalgesia induced by chronic alcohol abuse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Downregulation of M-channels in lateral habenula mediates hyperalgesia during alcohol withdrawal in rats.

TL;DR: Data reveal a central role for the LHb in hyperalgesia during alcohol withdrawal, which may be due in part to the suppression of M-channels and highlights M- channels in the LHB as a potential therapeutic target for hyperalGESia in alcoholics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysfunction in amygdala-prefrontal plasticity and extinction-resistant avoidance: A model for anxiety disorder vulnerability.

TL;DR: Dysfunction in amygdala-PFC plasticity is innate in anxiety vulnerable rats and may promote extinction-resistant avoidance by disrupting communication between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
