DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Postweanling social isolation rearing produces long term changes in many behaviors, including increased locomotor novelty response, increased anxiety-like behavior, and increased ethanol consumption. In addition, isolates also show changes in dopaminergic activity, including increases in ventral tegmental dopamine neuron burst firing, increased accumbal dopamine, and increased dopamine turnover in the accumbens and amygdala. However, these previous studies are limited in that they do not reveal aspects of presynaptic terminal function. Fast scan cyclic voltammetry is a powerful tool for measuring presynaptic function due to its high temporal and spatial resolution. In the present study, we will investigate uptake rates and autoreceptor sensitivity as well as ethanol responsiveness in social isolation and group housing reared animals using voltammetry. We will be focusing on function within the nucleus accumbens and basolateral amygdala, as these areas believed to be important for ethanol's reinforcing properties.

描述（由申请人提供）：断奶后的社会隔离饲养会导致许多行为的长期变化，包括增加运动新颖性反应，增加焦虑症的行为和增加的乙醇消耗。此外，分离株还显示了多巴胺能活性的变化，包括腹侧换扇胺多巴胺神经元爆发的增加，增加伏托胺的增加，以及伏伏胺和杏仁核的多巴胺更新增加。但是，这些先前的研究受到限制，因为它们没有揭示突触前终末功能的各个方面。快速扫描循环伏安法是由于其高时空和空间分辨率而用于测量突触前功能的强大工具。在本研究中，我们将使用伏安法研究研究摄取率和自身感受器的敏感性以及社会隔离和群体饲养动物的乙醇反应性。我们将重点关注伏隔核和基底外侧杏仁核的功能，因为这些区域被认为对乙醇的增强特性很重要。
