COMMENTS: Study found that alcohol self-administration induced a pronounced accumulation of deltafosb, Specifically applied electroacupuncture greatly inhibited alcohol consumption, which was paralleled by a decline in deltafosb. In addiction blocking DeltaFosB, blocks the key effects of drug exposure. The mechanism of action suggests that electroacupuncture suppress dopamine, thus inhibit accumulation of deltfosb. PLoS One.
