in Alcohol Dependence.

Pharmacopsychiatry, 42(S 01):S95-S101, 2009.
An interplay of different neurotransmitter systems has been
implicated in the development and maintenance of alcohol dependence. Here we
focus on neuroadaptations in reward-related neurotransmitter systems and
their impact on central processing of alcohol-associated and
reward-indicating stimuli. We discuss genotype effects on cue-induced
neuronal activation and present new computational methods based on machine
learning to deal with complex genotype-phenotype interactions, e.g. between
brain atrophy and genes associated with glutamatergic and dopaminergic
neurotransmission.
