Abstract

This study investigates phenotypic differences of manic-like behaviors during voluntary ethanol (vs. water) intake in alcohol preferring (P) rats, using the lateral hypothalamus kindled (LHK) rat mania model. Alcohol preferring (P) rats exhibited classic manic-like behaviors during kindling and the post-kindling intervals in all coded behaviors (p < 0.0001), lending further validity to the lateral hypothalamus kindled rat as a useful model to study mania. However, there was no significant phenotypic difference between alcohol and water drinking alcohol preferring (P) rats.
