Comparison of Differences in Gene Expression in the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala (CeA) of 5 Pairs of Rat Lines Selectively Bred for High or Low Alcohol Consumption

The objective of this study was to determine common innate differences in gene expression in the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala (CeA) among the selectively bred (a) alcohol-preferring (P) vs. alcohol-non-preferring (NP) rats: (b) high-alcohol-drinking (HAD) vs. low-alcohol-drinking (LAD) rats (both replicates); (c) ALKO alcohol (AA) vs. nonalcohol (ANA) rats; and (d) Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) vs. alcohol-nonpreferring (sNP) rats.
