“…Renewed access to ethanol solutions after a period of deprivation for several days/weeks leads to a pronounced, although temporary, increase in voluntary ethanol intake. The EDE is observed in a variety of species including rats (McKinzie et al, 1998;Rodd-Henricks et al, 2000a;Sinclair and Senter, 1967), mice (Salimov et al, 1993), monkeys (Kornet et al, 1990;Sinclair, 1971), and humans (Burish et al, 1981;Mello and Mendelson, 1972). Short (12-h or less; Sinclair and Li, 1989) or long (up to 75 days; Sinclair et al, 1973) deprivation intervals both produce an EDE in rats.…”
