Focusing on the central extended amygdala (cEA), lesions were performed in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNSTLP), central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA), and nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell. Results showed these regions contribute to baseline ethanol consumption in limited access paradigms but are not required for the increased intake induced by chronic intermittent ethanol vapor exposure. c-fos analyses identified activation of the NAc shell and core during heightened ethanol consumption. Together, these findings suggest distinct neural mechanisms underlie baseline drinking and dependence-related escalation. 000000323 540__ $$fCC BY 000000323 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000323 650__ $$aMedicine$$021959 000000323 650__ $$aAlcohol Drinking$$014403 000000323 650__ $$aMice$$036842 000000323 650__ $$aAlcoholism$$014412 000000323 650__ $$aAmygdala$$014642 000000323 650__ $$aEthanol$$014406 000000323 650__ $$aNucleus Accumbens$$023067 000000323 650__ $$aCentral Amygdaloid Nucleus$$040835 000000323 650__ $$aMice$$036842 000000323 6531_ $$ac57bl/6j mice 000000323 6531_ $$aextended amygdala 000000323 6531_ $$aethanol dependence 000000323 6531_ $$ainbred strains 000000323 6531_ $$aethanol consumption 000000323 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000323 692__ $$aDepartment of Behavioral Neuroscience$$041394 000000323 7001_ $$aDhaher, Ronnie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000323 7201_ $$aHitzemann, Bob$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000000323 8564_ $$9dfca0281-249b-4041-be94-8dd36b79a693$$s1265775$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/323/files/324_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$287cb82018ea92736178a0fed76518eed$$31 000000323 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
