Unveiling the power of optimism: Exploring behavioral and neuromolecular correlates of alcohol seeking and drinking in rats with biased judgement
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a common psychiatric condition with substantial global mortality. Despite extensive research into its pathophysiology, the cognitive predispositions driving alcohol dependence are less understood. This study explores whether biased cognition, specifically traits of optimism and pessimism, predicts susceptibility to alcohol-seeking behaviors using an animal model.
Rats were initially tested for judgement bias through Ambiguous Cue Interpretation tests. Those identified as ‘optimistic' or ‘pessimistic' were further examined for their tendency to escalate alcohol intake using the intermittent access 2-bottle choice (2BC) paradigm. Additionally, we assessed how judgement bias influenced the development of compulsive alcohol-seeking behavior in a Seeking-Taking (ST) and Seeking-Taking Punishment tasks, alcohol-seeking motivation in the Progressive Ratio Schedule of Reinforcement paradigm, the speed of extinction, and reinstatement after abstinence. Neurochemical analyses were conducted to investigate trait-specific differences in neurotransmitter-related gene expression and receptor densities in the brain. We used TaqMan Gene Expression Array Cards to analyze expression levels of genes linked to serotonergic, dopaminergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic pathways, and alcohol metabolism in various brain regions. Receptor densities for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and D2 were measured using autoradiography analysis.
Behaviorally, ‘optimistic' rats showed significantly lower alcohol consumption in the 2BC paradigm compared to ‘pessimistic' rats. This lowered intake correlated with decreased monoamine oxidase-A (Maoa) expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and increased metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (Grm2) expression in the amygdala (Amy). Additionally, we observed significant interactions between judgement bias and alcohol intake in the expression of several genes in the mPFC, nucleus accumbens (Nacc), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and Amy, as well as in 5-HT2A receptor binding in the Nacc.
Overall, these results suggest that optimism is linked to lower alcohol consumption and related neurochemical changes, indicating a potential cognitive mechanism in AUD risk.
期刊介绍：
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry is an international and multidisciplinary journal which aims to ensure the rapid publication of authoritative reviews and research papers dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neuro-psychopharmacology and biological psychiatry. Issues of the journal are regularly devoted wholly in or in part to a topical subject.
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unless the pharmacological active molecular substrate and/or specific receptor binding properties of the extract compounds are elucidated.
