The Effects of Gene Knockout of the Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2; SLC18A2) and the Dopamine Transporter (DAT; SLC3A6) on Ethanol Consumption and Escalation in Mice.

Houston-Ludlam, AlexandraThis 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.en-USgeneticsDATVMATalcoholtwo-bottle choicemiceThe Effects of Gene Knockout of the Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2; SLC18A2) and the Dopamine Transporter (DAT; SLC3A6) on Ethanol Consumption and Escalation in Mice.Honors Thesis
