Abstract excerpt
The effects of increasing doses of ethanol on locomotor activity and on the metabolism of dopamine (DA) in the limbic forebrain and in the striatum of CBA, C57, and NMRI mice were studied. In NMRI mice, low doses of ethanol produced locomotor stimulation which was followed by inhibition of locomo...
