This chapter summarizes evidence that GABAergic neuroactive steroids are modulated by alcohol in mouse, rat, monkey, and humans, contribute to ethanol sensitivity, modulate ethanol consumption, and may be deficient in ethanol dependence. These data provide a rationale for exploration of the therapeutic effects of GABAergic neuroactive steroids in alcohol use disorders.

Abstract
This chapter summarizes evidence that GABAergic neuroactive steroids are modulated by alcohol in mouse, rat, monkey, and humans, contribute to ethanol sensitivity, modulate ethanol consumption, and may be deficient in ethanol dependence. These data provide a rationale for exploration of the therapeutic effects of GABAergic neuroactive steroids in alcohol use disorders.File in questo prodotto:
