Acute Effects of Ethanol on Behavior of Adolescent Rats: Role of Social Context

Acute Effects of Ethanol on Behavior of Adolescent Rats: Role of Social Context Background: First experiences with alcohol in humans occur predominantly in adolescence, and to a large extent the attractiveness of alcohol at this age is based on its ability to facilitate certain forms of social behavior (social facilitation). Adolescence is strongly marked by a focus on peer relationships, and the social nature of the situation plays an important role in responsiveness to alcohol. Peer‐directed social activity of adolescent rats may be a valuable experimental model for the study of ethanol‐induced changes in social behavior and assessment of the role of the social context in responsiveness to ethanol. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research Wiley

Abstract

Background: First experiences with alcohol in humans occur predominantly in adolescence, and to a large extent the attractiveness of alcohol at this age is based on its ability to facilitate certain forms of social behavior (social facilitation). Adolescence is strongly marked by a focus on peer relationships, and the social nature of the situation plays an important role in responsiveness to alcohol. Peer‐directed social activity of adolescent rats may be a valuable experimental model for the study of ethanol‐induced changes in social behavior and assessment of the role of the social context in responsiveness to ethanol.
