αCaMKII autophosphorylation controls the establishment of alcohol-induced conditioned place preference in mice

The autophosphorylation of alpha Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (αCaMKII) is important for memory formation and is becoming increasingly implicated in the development of drug addiction. Previous work suggests that αCaMKII acts via the monoaminergic systems to facilitate the establishment of alcohol drinking behaviour.

The present study aims to investigate whether αCaMKII
