Ethanol drinking does not significantly affect vertical time in a novel activity chamber or levels of neurotensin mRNA (Experiment 4). A Ethanol drinking does not alter time spent vertical in a novel activity chamber despite increasing time spent moving horizontally in the chamber (n = 8/group). B Ethanol drinking does not significantly alter gene expression of neurotensin (NTS), the neurotensin receptor type 1 (NTS1R), or neurotensin receptor type 2 (NTS2R) in the anterior paraventricular thalamus (aPVT) or posterior paraventricular thalamus (pPVT), as assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (n = 8/group). Target gene expression was quantified relative to cyclophilin using the relative quantification method. Data are mean ± S.E.M.; *p < 0.05 vs. water drinkers.
