Dr. Herman and her team observed sex- and test- specific differences in basal affective behavior. In female rats only, depressive-like behavior predicted future EtOH intake, and post-drinking anxiety-like behavior, but not depressive-like behavior, predicted subsequent EtOH intake. In addition, history of EtOH intake decreased pain thresholds in both male and female rats, but increased anxiety-like and depressive-like behavior was associated with decreased thermal sensitivity only in EtOH-drinking males. This research provides valuable information to the complex interaction between negative affect and EtOH intake. Their work provides insights regarding how these two contexts reciprocally do, or do not, influence each other in a sex-specific manner.
