Adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) binge caused an increase in brevican immunoreactivity (IR) in the adult orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Mice were given either water or ethanol (5g/kg, i.g.) in an intermittent fashion (2 days on − 2 days off) during adolescence (P28– 37). Immunohistochemistry was performed following sacrifice in adulthood (P110). (A) Representative images of brevican-IR in the OFC of control and AIE groups in adulthood show increased brevican-IR in the AIE group. A high magnification image of the cell surrounded by brevican identified by the arrowhead is included in the insert. (B) Quantification of brevican-IR showed a significant increase in brevican-IR *p<0.05, t-test. N = 5 Control, 5 AIE. Scale bare denotes 50 microns.
