A comparison of behavioral and neurochemical effects of ethanol and chlordiazepoxide.
Many similarities were observed in the behavioral and neurochemical actions of ethanol and chlordiazepoxide (CDZ) suggesting that these agents may share common mechanisms of action. However, similarities in these actions could not be explained by effects on a benzodiazepine binding site, since only CDZ interacted with this locus.
