Abstract
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a significant global mental health issue that impacts both the central and peripheral systems, leading to widespread cognitive and motor dysfunctions. The primary motor cortex (M1) plays a critical role in motor planning, control, and execution, yet the effects of chronic alcohol exposure on M1 remain underexplored, particularly during quiescent states. This study investigates the functional changes in M1 due to chronic alcohol exposure using high-resolution Neuropixels electrode recordings in a mouse model. Our findings reveal alterations in neuronal firing mode, particularly in layer V, highlighting disruptions in the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance. Despite similar overall firing rates, changes in firing interval distributions suggest altered temporal dynamics of neuronal activity due to alcohol exposure. These results align with existing literature on cortical disruptions caused by alcohol and provide new insights into the specific neuronal dynamics within M1, especially in quiescent states.
期刊介绍：
Neuroscience Letters is devoted to the rapid publication of short, high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. Only papers which will make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be published. Papers in all areas of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral and cognitive, as well as computational - will be considered for publication. Submission of laboratory investigations that shed light on disease mechanisms is encouraged. Special Issues, edited by Guest Editors to cover new and rapidly-moving areas, will include invited mini-reviews. Occasional mini-reviews in especially timely areas will be considered for publication, without invitation, outside of Special Issues; these un-solicited mini-reviews can be submitted without invitation but must be of very high quality. Clinical studies will also be published if they provide new information about organization or actions of the nervous system, or provide new insights into the neurobiology of disease. NSL does not publish case reports.
