The article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 RSA Meeting in Denver, Colorado. The co‐chairs were Cristine L. Czachowski and Craig J. Slawecki. The presentations were (1) Behavioral assessment of ethanol seeking and self‐administration, by Cristine L. Czachowski; (2) Electrophysiological measures of ethanol preference and reinforcing efficacy, by Craig J. Slawecki; (3) Genetic differences in locomotor sensitization and reward phenotypes associated with bidirectional selection for alcohol preference in mice, by Nicholas J. Grahame; (4) Transgenic and knockout mouse models: Powerful tools for investigating the neurobiology of alcoholism, by Todd E. Thiele; and (5) Neurochemical characteristics that may predict ethanol preference in selected P and NP rats: A quantitative microdialysis study, by Simon N. Katner.
