Graph theory representation of the neural network associated with alcohol abstinence in alcohol-dependent mice. Analysis identified several underexplored regions within the extended amygdala module that may be critical for withdrawal-associated behavior and excessive alcohol drinking. The zoomed-in panel highlights several of the underexplored regions, which include the posterior cortical amygdala (COAp), intercalated amygdala (IA), parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN), and tuberal nucleus (TU).
