16
Q

movement of flies exposed to ethanol

A

immediate phase - increased locomotion

over time - slow down until sedation

17
Q

elution of flies exposed to ethanol

A

fast

18
Q

ethanol sensitivity on alcoholism

A

low sensitivity increases future risk of alcoholism

19
Q

technique to identify genes implicated in sensitivity

A

induce mutations, measure elution times,

identify fastest flies

20
Q

cheapdate mutant

A

increased ethanol sensitivity

21
Q

gene mutated in cheapdate

A

allele of amnesiac

22
Q

amnesiac

A

neuropeptide

23
Q

amnesiac function

A

activates cAMP pathway

24
Q

mutation in cheapdate

A

reduces downstream transcription due to inactivation of CREB

25
Q

cAMP activity

A

decreases alcohol sensitivity

26
Q

technique to measure tolerance

A

repeat inebriometer test,

tolerance indicated by longer elution time

27
Q

hangover

A

encodes zn-finger - acts as TF

28
Q

hangover effect on cAMP

A

speeds up cAMP inactivation

29
Q

what promotes development of tolerance

A

faster deactivation of cAMP pathway

30
Q

chronic alcohol exposure

A

increases HPA activity - elevated glucocorticoid levels
