This study investigates the role of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors in compulsion-like alcohol drinking using rat models and finds that propranolol reduces alcohol intake through mechanisms not limited to specific brain regions.

The paper identifies specific firing patterns in anterior insular cortex neurons that correlate with compulsion-like alcohol consumption in rats.

This study examines sex differences in alcohol drinking strategies in rats, finding females show greater persistence under lower challenge but different patterns under higher challenge.
