Abstract excerpt
Withdrawal Seizure-Prone (WSP) and -Resistant (WSR) mice have been bidirectionally selected for severity of handling-induced convulsions (HIC) following withdrawal from 72 hr of chronic ethanol vapor inhalation. During selection, daily injections of the alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor, pyrazole, were used to enhance and stabilize blood ethanol concentrations (BEC). After 26 generations of selection, WSR mice show...
