Changes in dendritic spine density in the nucleus accumbens do not underlie ethanol sensitization

Diolistic labelling of accumbens medium spiny neurons after repeated ethanol revealed that saline controls (SAL) low‐sensitized (LS) and high‐sensitized mice (HS) do not differ in overall dendritic spine density, as illustrated. Additional analyses, however, indicated that LS mice have increased density of “stubby”‐type spines.
