Neuroimaging reveals functionally distinct neuronal networks associated with high-level alcohol consumption in two genetic rat models

In conclusion, our data reveal strikingly different brain circuits associated with alcohol drinking in two genetically different rat lines and suggest innately different motivational and behavioral processes driving alcohol drinking. These findings have important implications for the use of these lines in translational alcohol research.
