Abstract
Using the place conditioning paradigm (biased design), we have shown that five conditioning sessions with ethanol (0 5 or 1.0 g/kg, i p ) did not result in place conditioning. Similarly, 15 conditioning sessions with ethanol (1 0 g/kg) did not produce significant place conditioning response. In contrast, rats that received 20 injections of ethanol (0 5 g/kg) or saline, before the conditioning procedure, showed significant place preference to the compartment paired with 0.5 g/kg ethanol (but not 1 0 g/kg).Keywords
