Figure 6.

The amount of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) normalized to total brain protein varies in a stimulus presentation and embryonic alcohol dose-dependent manner. Mean ± SEM are shown. Sample sizes are given in the Methods section. The group designations shown under the x-axis represent the bath concentration of alcohol employed at the 24th hour postfertilization for 2 hours. These designations also show whether the adult fish received the stimulus before tissue sampling. Note the shoal stimulus-induced increase of dopamine in the adult control fish (no alcohol exposure) and the lack of such increase in the adult fish exposed to alcohol during their embryonic development.
