Table 2.

Consumption of ethanol increases: 1) exploration in a novel environment as demonstrated by a decrease in the time that fish spent in the bottom of the tank and an increase in the time spent in the top of the tank; and 2) aggressive behavior in a mirror test as demonstrated by a decrease in the latency to approach and contact the mirror and an increase in the time spent in close proximity to the mirror. p < 0.05 vs. 0% ethanol, n = 16/group.
