Intermittent voluntary ethanol drinking during periadolescence impairs adult spatial learning after a long abstinence period in rats

Although previous findings point to the long-term impact of ethanol exposure during periadolescence on hippocampal-dependent learning tasks, comparisons considering different onset and exposure periods during this developmental range of ages are still needed. The aim of this experiment was to determine whether intermittent voluntary chronic ethanol consumption onset at different ages, beginning either in pre-adolescence or adolescence, differentially produces impairment in the hidden-platformwater-maze-task performance persisting in adult rats after a [...]
