Conditioning the neuroimmune response to ethanol using taste and environmental cues in adolescent and adult rats.
Experimental Biology and Medicine 2019 April
IMPACT STATEMENT: A combined odor and taste cue was paired with a binge-like ethanol exposure (4 g/kg intraperitoneal) using a single-trial learning paradigm. Re-exposure to the CS alone was sufficient to evoke a conditioned Interleukin (IL)-6 elevation in the amygdala in adolescents, an effect that was not observed in young adults. This demonstrates a particular sensitivity of adolescents to alcohol-associated cues and neuroimmune learning, whereas prior work indicated that adults require multiple pairings of ethanol to the CS in order to achieve a conditioned amygdala IL-6 response. While the role of immune conditioning has been studied in other drugs of abuse, these findings highlight a previously unknown aspect of alcohol-related learning. Given the emergent importance of the neuroimmune system in alcohol abuse, these findings may be important for understanding cue-induced reinstatement of alcohol intake among problem drinkers.
