Confocal analysis at 63x magnification, followed by the three-dimensional reconstruction of neuronal cell bodies and branches. The image shows an example of eYFP and CRF in the same neuron. This rendered isosurface analysis demonstrated the colocalization of CRF immunoreactivity within CeA neurons that also expressed Cre-dependent eYFP and validates the crh-Cre rat as a tool to gain more direct access to CRF neurons to study their functional neuroanatomy.

Study may open the door to developing drug therapies or even gene therapies for alcohol addiction. Scientists at Scripps Research have found that they can reverse the desire to drink in alcohol-dependent rats – with the flip of a switch...
