Abstract

This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 ISBRA Meeting in Yokohama, Japan. The organizer/chair was Ting-Kai Li and the co-chair was Rainer Spanagel. The presentations were (1) Genetic differences in alcohol drinking and reinforcement: The sP and sNP Rats, by Giancarlo Colombo; (2) Ventral tegmental area-Neuroanatomical substrate for alcohol reinforcement, by William J. McBride; (3) Metabolic mapping of alcohol reinforcement, by Linda J. Porrino; (4) Role of opioid receptors in the ethanol-induced place preference in rats exposed to conditioned fear stress, by Tsutomu Suzuki; and (5) Repeated deprivations enhance the reinforcing properties of ethanol in alcohol preferring (P) rats, by Zachary A. Rodd-Henricks.
