| Summary: | Infant rats display differences in duration of anesthesia in response to an hypnotic dose of ethanol. These differences are predictive of the adult rat's preference for ethanol. Infants as young as 4 days of age that display short duration of ethanol anesthsia display marked preference for ethanol when tested as adults. Infants that display long duration of anesthesia, conversely, exhibit a marked lack of preference. Additionally, infant ethanol ingestion correlates highly with adult ethanol ingestion. These findings demonstrate that adult differences in susceptibility to experimental alcoholism can be determined in infancy. | |
