The persistent effects of predator odor stressor enhance interoceptive sensitivity to alcohol through GABA-A receptor adaptations in the prelimbic cortex in male, but not female rats

Ryan E. Tyler, Maya N Bluitt, Kalynn J. Van Voorhies, Wen Liu, Sarah N. Magee, Elisabeth R. Pitrolo, Victoria L. Cordero, Laura C. Ornelas, Caroline G Krieman, Brooke N. Bender, Alejandro M. Mosera, Joyce Besheer

This study shows that predator odor stress increases male rats' sensitivity to alcohol via GABAA receptor changes in the prelimbic cortex, but not in females.

The toll-like receptor 7 agonist imiquimod increases ethanol self-administration and induces expression of toll-like receptor related genes

Dennis F. Lovelock, Wen Liu, Sarah E. Langston, Jiaqi Liu, Kalynn J. Van Voorhies, Kaitlin A. Giffin, Ryan P. Vetreno, Fulton T. Crews, Joyce Besheer

This study shows that TLR7 activation with imiquimod increases ethanol self-administration and induces TLR-related gene expression in rats, with sex-specific effects on drinking behavior and molecular responses.
