In a longitudinal rat model of alcohol consumption, we showed that exposure to alcohol decreased the concentration of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex, whereas a normalization occurred during abstinence. 18F-FPEB PET scans revealed that pre-exposure mGluR5 availability in the nucleus accumbens was associated with future alcohol preference. Finally, alcohol exposure induced a decrease in mGluR5 availability in the bilateral hippocampus and amygdala compared with baseline, and in the hippocampus and striatum compared with saccharin (Figure).
在一个酒精摄入的纵向大鼠模型中,我们发现,暴露于酒精会降低前额叶皮层中谷氨酸的浓度,而在戒断期间则会恢复正常。18F-FPEB PET 扫描显示,伏隔核内 mGluR5 的预先暴露可用性与未来的酒精偏好有关。最后,与基线相比,酒精暴露导致双侧海马体和杏仁核中 mGluR5 的可用性下降,与蔗糖相比,在海马体和纹状体中也出现了下降(图)。
