Adolescent mice, unlike adults, consume more alcohol in the presence of peers than alone.
One hallmark of adolescent risk-taking is that it typically occurs when adolescents are with peers. It has been hypothesized that the presence of peers primes a reward-sensitive motivational state that overwhelms adolescents' immature capacity for inhibitory control. We examined this hypothesis using a rodent model. A sample of mice were raised in same-sex triads and were tested for alcohol con...
متن کاملFat-preferring rats consume more alcohol than carbohydrate-preferring rats.
Rats with a genetic preference for alcohol (ETOH) have been found to consume more dietary fat then ETOH nonpreferring rats. We therefore hypothesized that rats selected on the basis of fat and carbohydrate (CHO) preferences would differ in ETOH intake. Patterns of macronutrient self-selection were determined by allowing rats to select diets from separate sources of CHO, fat and protein. Subsequ...
متن کاملPatients with multiple sclerosis do not necessarily consume more alcohol or tobacco than the general population.
Purpose Recent papers suggest that patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are prone to alcohol misuse. This may be due to the combination of a lifelong and disabling disease with a psychiatric profile typical of MS. The objective of the present study was to assess these findings in a culturally different population of patients with MS.Method The present case-control transversal study assessed 16...
متن کاملMore than technology alone.
Traditionally, developments in the labon-a-chip community have been technology-pushed, mainly guided by analytical chemists, micro-machinists and material scientists, rather than demand-pulled. Applications such as LabChip from Caliper (Fig. 1) and i-STAT from Abbott Point of Care (Fig. 2) can now be found on the market, solving practical problems for users. However, the field is still lacking ...
متن کاملAdolescent mice are more vulnerable than adults to single injection-induced behavioral sensitization to amphetamine
Drug-induced behavioral sensitization in rodents has enhanced our understanding of why drugs acquire increasing motivational and incentive value. Compared to adults, human adolescents have accelerated dependence courses with shorter times from first exposure to dependence. We compared adolescent and adult mice in their ability to develop behavioral sensitization to amphetamine following a singl...
