    Department of Neurology, Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, University of California at San Francisco, Emeryville, CA, USA
    Genes Brain Behav 8:493-9. 2009
    ..These mice have a >50% reduction in the abundance of PKCepsilon in the amygdala compared with wild-type mice. We conclude that amygdala PKCepsilon is important for ethanol consumption in mice...

    Rudolf Magnus Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Pharmacogenet Genomics 19:719-29. 2009
    ..In addition, mouse chromosome substitution strains were used to further evaluate the contribution of chromosome 2 to ethanol consumption...

    J Neurosci 28:11890-9. 2008
    ..These findings indicate that PKCdelta contributes to a high level of behavioral response to ethanol, which is negatively associated with risk of developing an alcohol use disorder in humans...

    Heidi M B Lesscher
    Department of Pharmacology and Anatomy, Rudolf Magnus Institute of Neuroscience, University Medical Center Utrecht, Stratenum, Universiteitsweg 100, 3584 CG Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 15:31-7. 2005
    ..These findings suggest that CB1 receptors are not involved in acute cocaine reinforcement nor in cocaine-induced behavioural sensitization...

    Neuropsychopharmacology 30:278-85. 2005
