Can alcohol reward in CPP for SUS rats be altered by manipulating LC activity?
Academic text (2016) -
This indicates that the motivation of SUS rats for drinking alcohol, the cue for which is the taste of the alcohol solution, is the rewarding consequences produced by the alcohol ingestion.

Details of the selective breeding procedure for the SUS line and also for the Swim-test Resistant (RES) line have been given previously (Scott et al., 1996; West & Weiss, 2005).
Academic text (2016) -
To determine the effect that an increase or decrease in LC activity would have on the alcohol consumption of SUS rats, immediately following an infusion into LC, as described above, animals were returned to their home cage in the colony room, and at that time a bottle containing a 10% alcohol solution as well as a second bottle containing normal tap water was present in the home cage.

The initial procedure used to determine if rewarding consequences of alcohol could be demonstrated for SUS rats by using the CPP test was as follows: rats were habituated to the CPP apparatus, which was done by allowing the animals to explore the apparatus freely for 30 minutes on three consecutive days.

In contrast, a marked increase in VTA-DA activity in response to alcohol was clearly evident in SUS rats that had no change produced in LC activity (i.e., aCSF infused into LC).
