1 To characterize the ability of ALK to control ethanol consumption, we treated mice with the ALK inhibitors TAE684 or alectinib before testing them for binge-like drinking using the drinking in the dark protocol. Ethanol anaplastic lymphoma kinase Mus musculus
2 Mice treated with ALK inhibitors drank less ethanol than controls. Ethanol anaplastic lymphoma kinase Mus musculus
3 In addition, TAE684 treatment abolished ethanol conditioned place preference, indicating that ALK regulates the rewarding properties of ethanol. Ethanol anaplastic lymphoma kinase Mus musculus
4 In addition, TAE684 treatment abolished ethanol conditioned place preference, indicating that ALK regulates the rewarding properties of ethanol. Ethanol anaplastic lymphoma kinase Mus musculus
5 Because the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a key brain region involved in the rewarding effects of ethanol, we determined if Alk expression in the VTA is important for binge-like ethanol consumption. Ethanol anaplastic lymphoma kinase Mus musculus
6 Mice expressing a short hairpin ribonucleic acid targeting Alk in the VTA drank less ethanol compared with controls. Ethanol anaplastic lymphoma kinase Mus musculus
