Background: Genetically based risk for development of alcoholism in humans seems to be related to initial sensitivity and/or acute tolerance to ethanol. The genetic basis for the development of tolerance has received less attention than other ethanol

Background: It has been proposed that development of tolerance to the behavioral effects of ethanol depends on the degree of impairment produced by the drug; that is, more sensitive individuals should develop greater tolerance. Tests of this hypothes

Background:C57BL/6 inbred mice prefer alcohol whereas DBA/2 mice avoid it. We describe the construction of congenic strains of mice in which DBA/2 alleles for alcohol avoidance were placed on a C57BL/6 background using phenotypic selection. Methods:M

A considerable investment in genetic mapping is necessary to confirm linkages of quantitative trait loci for complex traits such as ethanol sensitivity, a significant predictor of alcoholism. Before embarking on such intensive mapping efforts in larg

It has been speculated that tolerance to alcohol involves some form of neuronal plasticity that is similar to or the same as that mediating learning and memory. To investigate this possibility further, we tested the hypothesis that acute functional t

Various lines of evidence suggest that a polymorphism in the gene for proopiomelanocortin, Pomc1, might account for some portion of the genetic variance for open-field activity in the LS × SS RI strains. To test this hypothesis, approximately 1600 b

The finding that stress-induced locomotor activity exhibited a significant strain × time interaction in the LS × SS RI strains prompted examination of QTL influencing this behavior as a function of time. The degree of genetic determination for loco

We are mapping the genes (quantitative trait loci or QTLs) that are responsible for individual differences in ethanol sensitivity, measured as the duration of loss of righting, reflex (LORR) and blood ethanol concentrations upon recovery of the right

It is well known that chronic ethanol administration produces tolerance to the sedative-hypnotic and hypothermic effects as well as low-dose locomotor inhibitory effects of ethanol. We report herein characterization of a convenient method of producin

The Alcohol Tolerant and Alcohol Non-Tolerant rats (AT, ANT) were selectively bred for ethanol-induced ataxia as measured on the inclined plane. Here we report on a quantitative trait locus (QTL) study in an F(2) intercross population derived from in
