摘要

Maudsley Reactive (MR) inbred rats, selected for high defecation in an open field, relative to Maudsley Nonreactive (MNR) rats, have been compared for alcohol preference (AP) many times. Maudsley rats from the North American Harrington derivation (MR/ Har) exhibit high AP under varying conditions [Adams N, Blizard DA (2002) Behav Genet 32:277-299]. Whereas MR/Har females often show high AP across conditions, and MNRA/Har rats exhibit uniformly low-moderate AP, MR/Har males' AP ranges from avoidance of ethanol (E) to quite high AP across experimental conditions.
