ABSTRACTCocaine self-administration is complexly determined trait, and a substantial proportion of individual differences in cocaine use is determined by genetic variation. Cocaine intravenous self-administration (IVSA) procedures in laboratory animals provide opportunities to prospectively investigate neurogenetic influences on the acquisition of voluntary cocaine use. Large and genetically diverse mouse populations, including the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP), have been developed for forward genetic approaches that can reveal genetic variants that influence traits like cocaine IVSA. This population enables high resolution and well-powered genome wide association studies, as well as the discovery of genetic correlations. Here, we provide information on cocaine (or saline - as a control) IVSA in 65 strains of the HMDP. We found cocaine IVSA to be substantially heritable in this population, with strain-level intake ranging for near zero to >25 mg/kg/session. Though saline IVSA was also found to be heritable, a very modest genetic correlation between cocaine and saline IVSA indicates that operant responding for the cocaine reinforcer was influenced by a substantial proportion of unique genetic variants. These data indicate that the HMDP is suitable for forward genetic approaches for the analysis of cocaine IVSA, and this project has also led to the discovery of reference strains with extreme cocaine IVSA phenotypes, revealing them as polygenic models of risk and resilience to cocaine reinforcement. This is part of an ongoing effort to characterize genetic and genomic variation that moderates cocaine IVSA, which may, in turn, provide a more comprehensive understanding of cocaine risk genetics and neurobiology.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions and is recognised as a significant global health problem. Increased food intake and decreased physical activity are traditionally to blame for the development of obesity; however, many variables such as behaviour, diet, environment, social structures and genetics also contribute to this multifactorial disease. Complex interactions among these variables (for example, gene–environment, gene–diet and gene–gene) contribute not only to individual differences in the development of obesity, but also in treatment response. Mouse models have historically played valuable roles in understanding the genetics of traits related to energy balance and obesity. In the present review, we survey past use and examine new advances in mouse models designed to uncover the genetic architecture of obesity and its component traits. We discuss traditional models such as inbred strains and selectively bred lines and their contributions and shortcomings. We consider the evolution of mouse models into more informative resources such as outbred crosses and the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel, as well as novel next-generation approaches such as the Collaborative Cross. Moreover, the genetic architecture of voluntary exercise and the interactive relationship between host genetics and the gut microbiome are presented as novel phenotypes that augment studies using body weight and body fat percentage as endpoints. Understanding the intricate network of phenotypic, genotypic and environmental variables that predispose individuals to obesity will elucidate biological networks involved in the development of obesity. Knowledge obtained from advances in mouse models will inform human health and provide insight into inter-individual variability in the aetiology of obesity-related diseases.
