In preparation vii Abstract Age differences in the manifestation & neurobiology of negative affect during alcohol withdrawal in a mouse model of binge drinking By Kaziya Mai Lee The research presented in this dissertation characterizes the manifestation and neurobiological underpinnings of negative affect during alcohol withdrawal in adult and adolescent mice using an animal model of voluntary binge drinking. A history of binge drinking elicits changes in glutamate-related protein expression within regions of the extended amygdala relevant to emotional regulation. Studying withdrawal-induced changes in protein expression may provide insight into the mechanisms mediating age-dependent differences in the negative affective consequences of alcohol abuse. The results of this work demonstrate that, similar to the human population, adult and adolescent mice differ both in their pattern of alcohol consumption and also in the consequences of that consumption. Although adolescent animals typically consume larger quantities of alcohol, adolescents are less sensitive than adults to negative affect during early withdrawal. However, adolescents binge drinkers show an emergence of negative affect later in adulthood, as well as elevated alcohol consumption. Moreover, these studies identify specific changes in protein expression within two brain regions critically involved in both emotion and addiction neurobiology- the central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) and the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh). Withdrawal from binge drinking is associated with increased neuronal activity within the AcbSh, concomitant with increased glutamate-related protein expression in adult animals. Conversely, decreased expression of protein indices of Homer2-dependent mGluR signaling viii was observed within the CEA of both adult and adolescent animals. Reversing these changes using neuropharmacological or virus-mediated transgene delivery approaches reduced behavioral signs of withdrawal-induced anxiety. Together, these studies identify neurobiological substrates and pathophysiology of relevance to the negative reinforcing properties of alcohol and characterize ontogenetic differences in the behavioral and neurobiological consequences of alcohol abuse. ix Table of Contents Curriculum

  • Further Characterization of the Stimulus Properties of 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-1,3-Dioxolo[4,5-G]Isoquinoline
    Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 72 (2002) 379–387 www.elsevier.com/locate/pharmbiochembeh Further characterization of the stimulus properties of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinoline Richard A. Glennon*, Richard Young, Jagadeesh B. Rangisetty Department of Medicinal Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, Virginia Commonwealth University, Box 980540, Richmond, VA 23298-0540, USA Received 14 August 2001; received in revised form 15 November 2001; accepted 21 November 2001 Abstract This investigation is based on the premise that conformational restriction of abused phenylalkylamines in a tetrahydroisoquinoline conformation alters their pharmacology in such a manner that their original action is lost and that a new action emerges. TDIQ or 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinoline, is a conformationally constrained phenylalkylamine that serves as a discriminative stimulus in animals. Although TDIQ bears structural resemblance to phenylalkylamine stimulants (e.g., amphetamine), hallucinogens (e.g., 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-aminopropane [DOM]), and designer drugs (e.g., N-methyl-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2- aminopropane [MDMA], N-methyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane [PMMA]), the TDIQ stimulus failed to generalize to (+)amphetamine or MDMA. In the present investigation, further evaluations were made of the stimulus nature of TDIQ. Specifically, the stimulus similarities of TDIQ, PMMA, and DOM were examined. In no case was stimulus generalization (substitution) observed. The results confirm that TDIQ produces stimulus effects distinct from those of the abovementioned phenylalkylamines. We also examined the structure– activity relationships of a series of TDIQ analogs, including several that might be viewed as conformationally restricted (CR) analogs of phenylalkylamine hallucinogens, stimulants, and designer drugs.

M. Leroy Spearman, NASA-Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 23681 & Karen Feigh, GA Inst. of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332. The basic arrangement of conventional transport aircraft has remained essentially unchanged over the years – a central fuselage with wing panels attached to each side and tail surfaces mounted at the rear. Increased capacity has been achieved simply by increasing the overall size of the aircraft. However, such an approach may be limited for aircraft beyond the size of the current jumbo jets such as the Boeing 747. Limitations may occur in the structural requirements to support very large span cantilevered wing panels. A serious problem may occur from the trailing tip vortex, which would be much stronger than that for current transports because of the increased lift required for the larger aircraft. In an effort to alleviate such problems some research has been done with an unconventional design for a large aircraft. The design has a relatively low- span rectangular wing surface with large bodies attached to each wing tip. Using a large wing chord, the area of the rectangular wing provides adequate lift to sustain flight. The tip-mounted bodies act as end plates so there is no span-wise airflow and two-dimensional flow is provided by the wing. Since no tip flow can occur, the formation of a trailing vortex is precluded. Some wind tunnel tests have been made of such a concept.
