Study of Alcohol Dependence in the Rat

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 126))

Abstract

In general two aspects of dependence towards alcohol + can be distinguished (4), (5), (7), (8), (13), (23):

  • on the one hand physical or physiological dependence as characterized by the appearance of a spectrum of symptoms arising upon cessation of alcoholization and comprising hyperexcitability, tremor and convulsions

  • on the other hand psychological or behavioral dependence, a somewhat ambiguous term which most often designates the search behavior of individuals for alcohol in order to avoid the withdrawal syndrom.
