Figure 1. Adolescent Intermittent Ethanol (AIE) exposure protocol and experiment timeline.
Schematic outlining the AIE exposure protocol, and the timeline for cannula implantation surgery (Exp 2), behavioral testing (Exp 2) and tissue collection (Exp 1, 2, 3). Blood ethanol concentrations (BECs) following the first and last intraoral gastric gavage are illustrated in the chart insert (N = 19 males, 20 females). BECs did not significantly differ between the sexes.
