Maximization of Ethanol Intake in the Rat

  • Chapter
Alcohol Intoxication and Withdrawal

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 59))

Abstract

Over the last few decades there has been a great deal of effort invested in attempts to produce lower animal analogues for the human alcoholic. The literature on this problem is substantial and has been extensively reviewed; the recurrent conclusion of successive reviews has been that no viable lower animal model has been found (Lester, 1966; Mello, 1973; Myers and Veale, 1972).

This work was supported by grants from the Non-Medical Use of Drugs to Z. Amit and from the Medical Research Council and United States Public Health Service (AA00203) to Roy A. Wise.
