The electrophysiological activity of mesoaccumbens dopaminergic neurons was monitored during the ethanol-withdrawal syndrome in ethanol-dependent and in control rats. Spontaneous firing was reduced by about half in ethanol-dependent rats as compared to controls. Likewise, the number of spikes/burst was also reduced in ethanol-dependent rats. These results are consistent with the reduction in dopamine release observed during ethanol-withdrawal syndrome and may provide the basis for the aversive effects of the ethanol-withdrawal syndrome.
在乙醇依赖大鼠和对照大鼠的乙醇戒断综合征期间,监测了伏隔核多巴胺能神经元的电生理活动。与对照组相比,乙醇依赖大鼠的自发放电减少了约一半。同样,乙醇依赖大鼠的峰电位/爆发次数也减少了。这些结果与乙醇戒断综合征期间观察到的多巴胺释放减少一致,并可能为乙醇戒断综合征的厌恶效应提供基础。
