[Effect of ethanol and acetaldehyde on the positive reinforcement structures in rats].
An activating action of low doses of ethanol and depressant action of acetaldehyde on the hypothalamic and septal structures of positive reinforcement was established in rat experiments using the method of self-stimulation. The relationship between ethanol activating action on these structures and its increased consumption in the conditions of free choice between ethanol and water was demonstrated.
