Abstract | The anxiolytic properties of ethanol (1 g/kg, 15% dose, i.p.) were studied in two experiments with rats involving incentive downshifts from a 32% to a 4% sucrose solution. In Experiment 1, alcohol administration before a downshift from 32% to 4% sucrose prevented the development of consummatory suppression (consummatory successive negative contrast, cSNC). In Experiment 2, ethanol prevented the attenuating effects of partial reinforcement (random sequence of 32% sucrose and nothing) on cSNC, causing a retardation of recovery from contrast. These effects of ethanol on cSNC are analogous to those described for the benzodiazepine anxiolytic chlordiazepoxide, suggesting that at least some of its anxiolytic effects are mediated by the same mechanisms. Las propiedades ansiolíticas del etanol (1 g/kg, dosis de 15% intraperitoneal) fueron estudiadas en dos experimentos con ratas que fueron expuestas a una disminución sorpresiva del incentivo, una solución azucarada, del 32% al 4%. En el Experimento 1, la administración del alcohol antes del cambio negativo de 32% a 4% previno el desarrollo de la supresión consumatoria (contraste sucesivo negativo consumatorio, CSNc). En el experimento 2, el etanol previno los efectos atenuantes del reforzamiento parcial (consistente en una secuencia aleatoria de solución azucarada al 32% o agua sin azúcar) sobre el CSNc, causando un retardo en la recuperación del contraste. Estos efectos del etanol sobre el CSNc son análogos a aquellos descritos para la benzodiazepina ansiolítica clordiazepóxido, sugiriendo que al menos sus efectos ansiolíticos están mediados por el mismo mecanismo. |

Wood, Michael D. (2006)The role of K agonist U-50,488H in cSNC was explored in four experiments. Experiment one revealed that U-50 failed to influence cSNC on trial 11 but showed both an attenuation with low dose of U-50 and exaggeration of cSNC ... -
