Abstract

Molecular biological tools have revealed receptor proteins for
excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters on cell membranes as targets
of ethanol action. Behavioral and pharmacogenetic assays using rodent
lines have supported this neurotransmitter theory of ethanol action and
given a firm basis for future identification of the relevant genes and
the central physiological processes vulnerable to ethanol.
