Variables affecting acquisition and maintenance of operant ethanol self-administration in male and female Long-Evans rats
These data suggest that prior short-term home cage ethanol drinking offers little advantage as an initiation procedure over no initiation procedure at all. Moreover, reducing operant session duration from 30-min to 15-min has the potential to decrease, rather than increase, levels of ethanol intake.
