abstract = {The ability of environmental cues to trigger
alcohol-seeking behaviours is thought to facilitate
problematic alcohol use. Individuals' tendency to attribute
incentive salience to cues may increase the risk of
addiction. We sought to study the relationship between
incentive salience and alcohol addiction using
non-preferring rats to model the heterogeneity of human
alcohol consumption, investigating both males and females.
Adult rats were subjected to the alcohol deprivation effect
(ADE) paradigm, where they were given voluntary access to
different alcohol solutions with repeated interruptions by
deprivation and reintroduction phases over a protracted
period (five Alcohol Deprivation Cycles). Before each
Alcohol Deprivation Cycle, rats were tested in the Pavlovian
Conditioned Approach (PCA) paradigm, which quantifies the
individual salience toward a conditional cue and the reward,
thus allowing us to trace the process of attributing
incentive salience to reward cues. During the final Alcohol
Deprivation Cycle (ADE5), animals were tested for
compulsive-like behaviour using quinine taste adulteration.
We investigated sex differences in drinking behaviour and
PCA performance. We observed thatb females drank
significantly more alcohol than males and displayed more
sign-tracking (ST) behaviour in the PCA, whereas males
showed goal-tracking (GT) behaviour. Furthermore, we found
that high drinkers exhibited more ST behaviour. The initial
PCA phenotype was correlated with later alcohol consumption.
Our findings indicate a complex relationship between
incentive salience and alcohol addiction and emphasize the
importance of considering both sexes in preclinical
research.},
