(A) SL327 (50 mg/kg) did not prevent the development of EtOH-CPP as both groups showed significant preference for the EtOH-paired floor following acquisition (Test 1). Significant EtOH-CPP of both the Vehicle and SL-50 groups persisted across five subsequent tests for both groups. (B) When administered during CPP acquisition, SL327 (50 mg/kg) caused a general reduction in EtOH-induced activity. However, SL327 did not impair the development of EtOH-induced sensitization across the two acquisition trials. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean.
* denotes a significant increase in EtOH-induced activity from CS+-trial 1 to 2 (p < .05).
# denotes a significant difference in EtOH-induced activity between the Vehicle and SL-50 group (p < .05).
