FLIES AND ALCOHOL: GENES, SOCIAL EXPERIENCE, AND BEHAVIOR 

Ulrike Heberlein, Ph.D., Department of Anatomy and Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 

Ulrike Heberlein, Ph.D. is a Professor of Anatomy and Neurology at the University of California at San Francisco, 

where she has worked since 1994. She received her BS and MS degree in biochemistry at the Universidad de 

Concepcion, Chile. Her PhD work and postdoctoral fellowship was carried out at the University of California at 

Berkeley. She has served on numerous national and international committees, editorial boards, and is a member 

of the national academy of sciences. Her laboratory pioneered the use of the fruit fly Drosophila as a model system 

for alcohol research. She was inducted into the National Academy of Sciences in May of <strong>2011</strong>. 

The fruit fly Drosophila has emerged as a powerful model system in which to identify novel genes and molecular 

pathways that regulate alcohol-related behaviors. Here, I will discuss new data showing that social experience 

affects ethanol intoxication and consumption.

NEUROIMAGING MEETS NEUROPSYCHOLOGY: 

ALCOHOLIC BRAIN INJURY, NEUROADAPTATION AND RECOVERY 

Adolf Pfefferbaum, M.D., SRI International, Neuroscience Program, Menlo Park, CA 94025 

Edith V. Sullivan, Ph.D., Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, 

School of Medicine, Stanford, CA 94305 

Adolf Pfefferbaum, M.D. is Director of the Neuroscience Program at SRI International and Professor Emeritus of 

Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. His quantitative studies using in vivo 

electrophysiological and neuroimaging probes of brain structure and function in chronic alcoholism have revealed brain 

damage with dynamic remodeling through sobriety and further insult with relapse. His NIAAA-funded neuroimaging 

work spans human alcoholism, its interaction with age and comorbidities, notably HIV infection, and animal models 

of acute and chronic alcohol exposure. Edith V. Sullivan, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at 

Stanford University School of Medicine and a neuropsychologist who has pioneered the study of the importance of 

alcoholic brain injury on cognitive and motor function. She is the recipient of a Senior Scientist <strong>Research</strong> and Mentorship 

Award and a grant for international collaborations on human alcoholism research. Both investigators are NIAAA 

MERIT awardees: Dr. Pfefferbaum for age-alcoholism interaction and translational studies of alcoholism, and Dr. 

Sullivan for functional studies of neural circuitry modification in alcoholism. Their 20-year collaboration epitomizes 

synergistic research and has resulted in more than 200 coauthored publications. 

Quantitative neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies of chronic alcoholism have revealed patterns of sparing 

and damage of brain structure and function. Hallmarks of alcoholism include shrinkage of brain tissue notable in 

frontocerebellar and limbic structures and damage to neurocircuitry that contributes to characteristic impairment 

in executive functions, visuospatial abilities, and gait and balance. Functional and structural imaging together with 

neuropsychological testing have revealed that, when able to achieve normal performance levels, alcoholics commonly 

recruit brain regions not invoked by healthy individuals but may do so at the price of usurping reserves needed for 

conducting multiple tasks simultaneously. Animal studies have complemented human investigations in elucidating 

the nature of alcoholism-related neuropathology, their functional ramifications, factors (age, nutrition, family history, 

sex, consumption patterns) contributing to heterogeneity of alcoholism’s effects, and the potential for restoration 

with abstinence and progression with relapse.

Jeff Lichtman, M.D., Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138 

Jeff Lichtman is Jeremy R. Knowles Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard. He received an AB 

from Bowdoin (1973), and an M.D. and Ph.D. from Washington University (1980) where he worked for 30 years 

before moving to Cambridge in 2004. He is a member of the newly established Center for Brain Science. Lichtman’s 

research interest revolves around the question of how mammalian brain circuits are physically altered by 

experiences, especially in early life. 

He has focused on the dramatic re-wiring of neural connections that takes place in early postnatal development 

when animals are doing most of their learning. This work has required development of techniques such as “Brainbow” 

transgenic mice to visualize neural connections and monitor how they are altered over time. Recently his 

efforts have focused on developing new electron microscopy methods to map the entire wiring diagram of the 

developing and adult brain. This “connectomics” approach has as one of its aims uncovering the ways information 

is stored in neural networks.

GENES, ENVIRONMENT, AND DEVELOPMENT: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY 

APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING ALCOHOL MISUSE AND RELATED PROBLEMS 

Danielle Dick, Ph.D., Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics, 

Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298 

Danielle M. Dick, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Human and Molecular 

Genetics at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University. 

She received her Ph.D. in 2001 from Indiana University, and subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the 

Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at Indiana University School of Medicine. She was on the faculty at 

Washington University, St. Louis from 2003 – 2007 before joining VCU. She is the PI or site PI for multiple NIH grants, 

a former recipient of a NA<strong>RSA</strong>D Young Investigator Award, and currently holds a K02 mid-career award from NIAAA. 

Alcohol dependence is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with trajectories of risk behavior that 

manifest long before the eventual development of problems. This talk will present findings across complementary 

research designs, including twin studies, gene identification projects, and longitudinal, community-based studies. 

Twin studies provide important information about how genetic risk unfolds across development, across phenotypes, 

and in conjunction with the environment. This information can be used to develop hypotheses about the risk associated 

with specific, identified genes. These hypotheses can be tested in longitudinal, community-based samples, in 

order to understand the pathways by which identified genes result in the eventual alteration of risk for substance use 

problems. Findings from these projects illustrate how, through interdisciplinary research, we are gaining a greater 

understanding of how genetic and environmental influences contribute to the risk for alcohol related problems, and 

how that risk manifests across development.
