Description	Highlights: Acute low dose ketamine reduced alcohol intake but not alcohol-related behavioural effects. Acute low dose NBQX reduced alcohol intake but not alcohol-related behavioural effects. NMDA or AMPA/kainate receptor antagonists may have treatment potential in alcohol use disorder. These results suggest that selective antagonism of the NMDA or AMPA/kainate receptors may be of therapeutic potential in AUD.
