Changes in avoidance behaviour following ethanol treatment in rats of different ages. 1986

E Markel, and C Nyakas, and E Tal, and E Endröczi

Avoidance learning and pain sensitivity were studied in rats after chronic ethanol administration (1.1 to 1.7 g per kg b.w. in drinking water) at prenatal, adolescent and adult ages. The behavioural reactions were tested in adulthood by studying passive and active avoidance learning and the threshold of pain sensitivity to electric tail shock. Chronic ethanol consumption led to an impairment of avoidance learning and to hyperalgesia in each experimental series, although the alterations were greater in the prenatally treated groups. The experimental observations are discussed in the light of fetal alcohol syndrome.
