title: Intraventricular arginine vasopressin blocks the acquisition of ethanol tolerance in mice.
abstract: Intracerebroventricular administration of [Arg8]vasopressin (AVP) blocks the development of tolerance to ethanol, when ethanol is administered to mice in a learning paradigm. This effect appears to result from an influence of AVP on both functional and dispositional components of tolerance.
