Abstract

Rats were administered alcohol during periadolescence (age 30-40 days) and then tested, beginning at 60 days of age, in an aversive-noise passive avoidance task. Relative to a low-dose group and to controls, the animals that had received a high dose were found to be impaired in this task. These results suggest that the developing juvenile is vulnerable to enduring effects of this drug. Thus, risk of impaired development due to alcohol may not be limited to the fetal and neonatal periods but may extend through later postnatal periods as well.
