Schematic representation of performed experiments. Subjects were divided into 4 groups: Naïve, ethanol-exposed, stress-exposed, and exposed to both ethanol and stress rats. Briefly, ethanol-exposed subjects had access to water and ethanol on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (dark boxes) and only water on other days (light boxes). After a minimum of 6 weeks, stress-exposed subjects underwent 3 days of social defeat stress exposure. One hour after the third social defeat stress session, subjects were taken for in vitro fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV).
