“…Not too surprising, research regarding ethanol ingestion is focused on the self-administration patterns found in humans (Amit et al, 1987; Mello & Mendelson, 1978; Zimmermann et al, 2011); however, a wide variety of species across taxa willingly ingest ethanol. These species include frugivores, such as nonhuman primates (Grant & Bennett, 2003) and bats (Orbach et al, 2010), as well as nectarivores such as insects and small vertebrates (Shohat-Ophir et al, 2012; Wiens et al, 2008).…”

Ethanol consumption has been shown to have many deleterious effects, including behavioral alterations, motor deficits, reduction in inhibition, and alteration of neurochemical expression. These effects occur in the wide variety of species that consume ethanol. Although studies have examined aversive conditioning in honey bees (Apis mellifera), few have examined the role of intoxication on the acquisition of learning in such paradigms. The current study continues a line of research using honey bees as a model to explore the behavioral effects of ethanol toxicity. A passive avoidance task is used to explore how increasing dosages of ethanol affects the ability of honey bees to perform this task. The results show that honey bees exposed to higher concentrations of ethanol have slower passive avoidance acquisition than bees exposed to lower concentrations under the same conditions. Bees not experiencing aversive stimuli displayed no difference from baseline behavior when exposed to varying concentrations of ethanol.

The biological, social and clinical bases of drug addiction: commentary and debate

Altman¹,

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article summarizes the main discussions at a meeting on the biological, social and clinical bases of drug addiction focused on contemporary topics in drug dependence. Four main domains are surveyed, reflecting the structure of the meeting: psychological and pharmacological factors; neurobiological substrates; risk factors (including a consideration of vulnerability from an environmental and genetic perspective); and clinical treatment. Among the topics discussed were tolerance, sensitization, withdrawal, craving and relapse; mechanisms of reinforcing actions of drugs at the behavioural, cognitive and neural levels; the role of subjective factors in drug dependence; approaches to the behavioural and molecular genetics of drug dependence; the use of functional neuroimaging; pharmaceutical and psychosocial strategies for treatment; epidemiological and sociological aspects of drug dependence. The survey takes into account the considerable disagreements and controversies arising from the discussions, but also reaches a degree of consensus in certain areas.
