THE ROLE OF DOPAMINE D3 RECEPTORS IN THE CONTROL OF ALCOHOL INTAKE
Background: Mesolimbic dopamine controls drug and alcohol seeking behavior. Stimulation of dopamine D3 autoreceptor reduces extracellular levels of dopamine. We tested the hypothesis that dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) gene deletion or its pharmacological blockade counteracts alcohol preference and …
