- Abstract
Because current findings indicate that the selectively bred alcohol-preferring P line of rats self-administers 50-200 mg% ethanol (EtOH) directly into the ventral tegmental area (VTA), whereas the alcohol-nonpreferring NP line does not, it is important to determine whether unselected, common stock rats would self-administer EtOH directly into the VTA. In addition, because neuroanatomical and self-administration studies indicate that the VTA may be functionally heterogeneous, the present study was designed to determine whether there were subregional differences within the VTA for the intracranial self-administration (ICSA) of EtOH.
