Regulation of Motivation to Self-Administer Ethanol by mGluR5 in Alcohol-Preferring (P) Rats

Abstract

Emerging evidence indicates that Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1 and mGluR5) differentially regulates ethanol self-administration in several rodent behavioral models. The purpose of this work was to further characterize involvement of Group I mGluRs in the reinforcing effects of ethanol using a progressive ratio schedule of reinforcement
