摘要: Rats were trained to discriminate between ethanol (1.0 g/kg; 10% v/v) and saline under a fixed ratio 10 schedule of sweetened milk reinforcement. Both diazepam [nonselective, full benzodiazepine (BZ) receptors agonist] bretazenil (nonselective, partial BZ receptor agonist) produced dose-dependent ethanol-appropriate responding (>75%). Neither nor affected the response rate at doses producing maximal generalisation from ethanol. In contrast, zolpidem (full BZ1 abecarnil BZ1/full or BZ2 only moderate (<50%) when tested up that markedly decreased overall rate. These results suggest that: 1) there are no major differences partial, nonselective agonists in their ability substitute for 1.0 g/kg dose ethanol; 2) stimulation alone is not sufficient produce ethanol-like discriminative stimulus effects rat.
