title: [The effect of DMCM and diazepam on the behavior of rats subjected to ethanol exposure in the prenatal period].
abstract: White rats were given 4 g/lag daily of 40% ethyl alcohol from the 5th till the 20th day of pregnancy. Males of the off-spring from the 5th till 19th day were subjected to treatment with 0.6 mg/kg DMCM (4-ethyl-6, 7-dimethoxy-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate methyl ether) or 2.5 mg/kg of diazepam daily. It has been shown that both drugs normalize increased locomotor activity; treatment with DMCM corrects passive avoidance conditioned reflex retention; both drugs restore active avoidance conditioned reflex elaboration in rats alcoholized prenatally. Moreover, treatment with DMCM or diazepam restores correlations between behaviour indices and binding of 3H-diazepam which have been altered by prenatal alcoholization.
