Learned tolerance to the behaviorally disruptive effects of ethanol
Copyright policy )Learned tolerance to the behaviorally disruptive effects of ethanol
Rats were trained to walk on a moving belt in order to avoid footshock. Rats which were then given ethanol each day before behavioral training became tolerant; rats which received equal doses of ethanol after behavioral training did not become tolerant relative to a group of saline controls. This result was interpreted to mean that the acquisition of behavioral tolerance to ethanol was mediated by learning. The methodology of measuring behavioral tolerance was discussed.
