摘要

We previously reported that ethanol-naive high-alcohol-drinking (HAD1 and HAD2) rats exhibited selective deficits in active avoidance learning, as compared to low-alcohol-drinking (LAD1 and LAD2) rats, in a signaled bar-pressing task [Alcohol. Clin. Exp. Res. 24 (2000) 1778]. In the current study, we used appetitive and aversive learning tasks to assess whether administration of ethanol influences approach and avoidance learning in HAD and LAD rats. Rats were administered 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 g ethanol/kg body weight during appetitive and aversive conditioning sessions. We found that ethanol impaired acquisition of the appetitive conditioned response in a dose-dependent manner in both HAD and LAD rats, with 1.5 g/kg ethanol producing the greatest deficits. Notably, moderate doses of ethanol (0.5 and 1.0 g/kg) partially reversed avoidance learning deficits in HAD rats, but only when appetitive conditioning preceded aversive conditioning. The highest dose (1.5 g/kg EtOH) abolished avoidance responding altogether in HAD rats. Avoidance responding in LAD rats was not affected by any dose of ethanol. These results are consistent with previous studies suggesting that alcohol preference may be associated with increased fear or anxiety, but the conditions under which ethanol produces a reduction of fear and anxiety in HAD rats appear to be relatively complex.
