This summary table provides a list of tested behaviors and signifies the hybrid comparisons using <, >, and =. For example, B6 × FVB show a less severe ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion than B6 × NZB and this is denoted in the table as <

SAP sustained alcohol preference, RAP reduced alcohol preference
