Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : Previous studies have shown that acupuncture suppresses anxiety-like behavior and ethanol self-administration following chronic ethanol exposure. The present manuscript explores studies directed at elucidating the neural circuit and brain regions for acupuncture control of anxiety-like behavior associated with ethanol dependence.
Methods : This review summarized the possible neural circuit related to the application of acupuncture for anxiety-like behavior in ethanol dependence by searching research and review articles through the keywords ‘acupuncture, ethanol dependence, anxiety, infralimbic cortex, central amygdala’ on Pubmed, google scholar and RISS sites.
Results and conclusion : Neuropharmacological studies of ethanol dependence suggest important roles for GABA, endorphin, and glutamate in acupuncture-mediated inhibition of anxiety-like behavior. Studies of ethanol dependence have implicated neural circuit including prefrontal cortex and central amygdala in acupuncture effects on anxiety-like behavior in dependent animals.
