Operant alcohol self-administration targets GluA2-containing AMPAR expression and synaptic activity in the nucleus accumbens in a manner that drives the reinforcing properties of the drug

Sara Faccidomo, Briana L. Saunders, Ashley M. May, Vallari R. Eastman, Michelle Kim, Seth M. Taylor, Jessica L. Hoffman, Zoé A. McElligott, Clyde W. Hodge

This study shows that ethanol self-administration increases GluA2-containing AMPAR expression and synaptic activity in the nucleus accumbens, which enhances ethanol's reinforcing effects through an NSF-dependent mechanism.

Inhibition of AMPA receptors bound to transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein γ-8 (TARP γ-8) blunts the positive reinforcing properties of alcohol and sucrose in a brain region-dependent manner

Jessica L. Hoffman, Sara Faccidomo, Seth M. Taylor, Kristina G. DeMiceli, Ashley M. May, Evan N. Smith, Ciarra M. Whindleton, Clyde W. Hodge

This study inhibits TARP γ-8 bound AMPARs in specific brain regions to show their role in alcohol and sucrose reinforcement, finding region-specific effects on reward behavior.

Alcohol Drinking Exacerbates Neural and Behavioral Pathology in the 3xTg-AD Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

Jessica L. Hoffman, Sara Faccidomo, Michelle Kim, Seth M. Taylor, Abigail E. Agoglia, Ashley M. May, Evan N. Smith, L.C. Wong, Clyde W. Hodge

This study shows that non-dependent alcohol drinking worsens AD-like neural and behavioral issues in 3xTg-AD mice.
