    A W Lasek
    The Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, University of California at San Francisco, Emeryville, CA, USA
    Genes Brain Behav 9:817-24. 2010

    Amy W Lasek
    Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, University of California at San Francisco, California, USA
    Alcohol Clin Exp Res 35:1600-6. 2011
    ..Herein, we examined whether dLmo influences the flies' sensitivity to ethanol's sedating effects. We also investigated whether 1 of the mammalian homologs of dLmo, Lmo3, is involved in behavioral responses to ethanol in mice...

    Department of Neurology, Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center, University of California San Francisco, Emeryville, California, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 6:e22636. 2011
    ..These results suggest that Alk plays an evolutionary conserved role in ethanol-related behaviors. Moreover, ALK may be a novel candidate gene conferring risk for AUDs as well as a potential target for pharmacological intervention...
