Regulation of NMDA Receptor Plasticity in the BNST Following Adolescent Alcohol Exposure

Regulation of NMDA Receptor Plasticity in the BNST Following Adolescent Alcohol Exposure

Persistent alterations in synaptic plasticity and neurotransmission are thought to underlie the heightened risk of adolescent-onset drinkers to develop alcohol use disorders in adulthood. The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a compelling region to study the consequences of early alcohol...
