This article presents the proceedings of the symposium “Endogenous Opioids and Voluntary Ethanol Consumption: What Have We Learnt From Knock‐out Mice?” presented at the meeting of the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism held in Heidelberg/Mannheim, Germany, in September/October 2004. The organizers and chairpersons were Michael S. Cowen and Carles Sanchis‐Segura. The presentations were as follows: (1) Regulation of the Opioid System by Alcohol: Comparison of Alcohol‐Preferring and ‐Nonpreferring Strains by Michael S. Cowen; (2) Endogenous Opioids and Alcohol: Lessons From Microdialysis and Knock‐out Mice by M. Foster Olive; (3) From Neurochemistry to Neuroanatomy: The Hypothalamic Arcuate Nucleus as a Main Site for Ethanol‐Opioids Interaction by Carles Sanchis‐Segura; (4) Sensitivity to Ethanol Is Modulated by β‐Endorphin in Transgenic Mice by Judy E. Grisel, Amanda J. Roberts, and George F. Koob; and (5) The μ‐Opioid Receptor Modulates Acute Ethanol Sensitivity and Ethanol Withdrawal Severity by Sandra Ghozland.
