Binge-Like Ethanol Drinking Increases , , and Gene Expression in the Ventral Tegmental Area of Adult Mice
Alcohol use disorder is associated with pathophysiological changes in the dopaminergic system. Orthodenticle homeobox 2 (OTX2) is a transcription factor important for the development of dopaminergic neurons residing in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a critical region of the brain involved in drug...
