BDNF injection into the DMS decreases ethanol and sucrose self-administration. Rats were microinjected with PBS or BDNF (0.08 and 0.25 μg/μl/side) into the DMS 3 h before the beginning of the self-administration session. a, BDNF infused into the DMS decreased the number of presses on the ethanol lever. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM number of presses. n = 10; ***p < 0.001. b, BDNF injected into the DMS decreases ethanol consumption. n = 10; ***p < 0.001. c, BDNF injected into the DMS does not induce an early termination of the drinking episode. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM time of the last press in minutes. n = 11. d, BDNF microinjected into the DMS decreases sucrose self-administration. n = 7; ***p < 0.001.
