Altered c-Fos expression following alcohol intake in discrete brain regions of galanin 3 receptor knockout mice
The aim of this study was to investigate the brain regions involved in the role of galanin (GAL) and specifically GAL3-receptors (GAL3) in alcohol intake. GAL3-KO mice displayed an alcohol-preferring phenotype in a two-bottle, free choice paradigm. In contrast, no genotype differences in ethanol intake were observed in a Drinking In the Dark (DID) model, highlighting the differential involvement of brain GAL activity depending on the experimental model of alcohol consumption. Blood ethanol concentrations were approximately 10 % lower in GAL3-KO mice compared to wildtype (WT) following DID. WT mice drinking ethanol had significantly increased numbers of c-Fos immunoreactive (ir) neurons in the rostral prelimbic (PrL) and infralimbic (IL) regions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and decreased numbers of ir neurons in the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus (dHIP) compared to water drinking WT littermates, but these effects of ethanol were absent in GAL3-KO mice. Water drinking GAL3-KO mice furthermore had significantly increased numbers of c-Fos ir neurons compared to water drinking WT mice in the rostral PrL as well as the CA3 region of the dHIP. In the core and shell subregions of the nucleus accumbens (NAc), or in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) or basolateral amygdala, there were no changes in the number of c-Fos ir cells or any involvement of GAL3 genotype. These findings support a role of GAL3-receptors in the effects of alcohol and implicate discrete brain regions involved in this interaction.
期刊介绍:
Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
