Review of Adolescent Stress Effects on Ethanol Consumption in Rodents

Bailey McLaughlin

A literature search was conducted to determine the effects of adolescent stress on ethanol drinking behavior in rodents. According to the literature, rodents that are stressed sometime in the adolescent stage (PND 21-60) tend to consume significantly more ethanol in late adolescence or adulthood than the non-stressed controls. The following poster presents trends in ethanol drinking behavior by comparing sex, strain, age of ethanol exposure, and duration of exposure to ethanol.
