Deskripsi
Mice exposed to a two-bottle alcohol choice paradigm can be divided into high and low drinking groups. Here, the authors show that stimulating VTA neurons to induce higher phasic activity patterns that are observed in low alcohol drinking mice, suppresses alcohol drinking in mice that are high alcohol drinking.
