General and Differential Behavioral Effects of Five Ethanol Dosages on the Albino Rat

Abstract
Investigation of immediate behavioral effects of 5 ethanol dose levels on 30 albino rats was undertaken. Each dose-level group had 5 Ss, with each S on a different water-deprivation schedule. Behavioral indices included respiration, balance, muscle tonus, auditory sensitivity, activity, coordination, and dose-effect length. Low doses resulted in a stimulative effect, while larger doses produced increasing incapacitation of caudorostral progression, with the highest dose of ethanol producing unconsciousness.
