Ethanol-Dependent Synthesis of Salsolinol in the Posterior Ventral Tegmental Area as Key Mechanism of Ethanol’s Action on Mesolimbic Dopamine
Abnormal consumption of ethanol, the ingredient responsible for alcoholic drinks’ addictive liability, causes millions of deaths yearly. Ethanol’s addictive potential is triggered through activation, by a still unknown mechanism, of the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system, part of a key motivation circu...
