in iMOs and humans are substantially different. Studies in humans typically address questions such as: What are the naturally occurring genetic variants that are associated with an AUD, or an endophenotype of an AUD, in response to chronic, voluntary alcohol intake in a defined population? In contrast, studies in iMOs typically investigate questions such as: What are the genes required for normal behavioral responses to forced acute alcohol exposure?
