B6 × FVB | B6 × NZB | |
---|---|---|
Ethanol drinking phenotype | SAP | RAP |
Ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion (aversive) | < | |
Sensitivity and duration of loss of righting reflex (sedative) | < | |
Ethanol-induced conditioned place preference (reward) | = | |
Acute ethanol withdrawal severity (aversive) | > | |
Locomotor response to ethanol (reward) | = | |
Ethanol metabolism (metabolic) | = | |
Elevated plus maze (anxiety) | < | |
Latency to enter mirrored chamber (anxiety) | < | |
Locomotor response to novelty (novelty) | > | |
Spontaneous locomotor activity (locomotor) | > |
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
