Subject of research
1.	Alcohol-drinking-, food behavior and active ghrelinergic and serotonergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and amygdala
2.	Application of multi brain microdialysis probes to the analysis of brain monoamines and amino acids releases in the ischemia and psychedelic brain diseases
3.	Effects of alcohol on the releases of dopamine and serotonin in the central nucleus of the amygdala

Research summary
Alcohol and the activities of ghrelinergic and serotonergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and amygdala Ghrelin targes the amygdala, modulating alcohol related serotonergic Transmission. Both acute and chronic alcohol administration increase Ghrelin and dopamine releases in the lateral hypothalamus
