Abstract
This research investigated the effects of genetic manipulations in behavioral outcomes in mice. Specifically, strains of mice with genetic manipulations that model human genetic variation were evaluated in 2 behavioral models of alcohol consumption. A new behavioral model for alcoholism is proposed.
