  2. 1. Maternal Separation in Rats : An Experimental Model for Long-Term Effects of Early Life Experiences on Neurochemistry, Voluntary Ethanol Intake and Exploration and Risk Assessment Behavior

    Author : Erika Roman; Ingrid Nylander; J. Dee Higley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Handling; Maternal Deprivation; Environment; Opioids; Dopamine; Alcohol; Stress; Concentric Square Field; Open Field; Elevated Plus-maze; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Farmaceutisk farmakologi;

    Abstract : The period of early life is important for the development of individual brain function and behavior. Human studies have shown altered vulnerability to develop psychopathology and/or excessive drug intake, possibly leading to dependence, as a consequence of early life experiences. READ MORE

  4. 2. Individual differences in behavior, neurochemistry and pharmacology associated with voluntary alcohol intake

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intermittent access; multivariate concentric square field; open field; risk assessment; risk taking; individual difference; behavior; strain variation; endogenous opioid system; naltrexone; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Alcohol use disorder is a worldwide public health problem and is a disorder with substantial individual variation. There are suggested links between various behavioral traits, comorbid psychiatric diseases and excessive alcohol consumption. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early Environment, Adolescent Alcohol Drinking and Neurobiological Responses to Drugs

    Author : Sara Palm; Ingrid Nylander; Anne-Lie Svensson; Lundblad Martin; Giancarlo Colombo; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Genes and environment interact to determine an individual’s vulnerability or resilience to several psychiatric disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). Alcohol use is often initiated during adolescence and early onset drinking is associated with increased risk for later AUD. READ MORE

  6. 4. Examining Female Resilience to Early Environmental Influences : Short- and long-term consequences on behaviour, HPA axis activity and alcohol intake after prolonged maternal separation

    Author : Stina Lundberg; Erika Roman; Ingrid Nylander; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Early-life experiences are an important factor influencing further development of the individual. Adverse experiences early in life, such as various kinds of abuse or neglect, are types of early-life stress that can adversely affect an individuals health, as well as contribute to the development of an array of disorders later in life.

    Abstract : Gambling disorder (GD) is a behavioral addiction characterized by persistent and recurrent gambling behavior that disrupts personal, social or professional life. Studies have revealed that GD shares many features with alcohol and substance use disorders, but little is known about potential unique features in GD and to what extent characteristics are shared.
