“…Also, we cannot exclude a role for behavioral (or contingent) tolerance in the tolerance to ataxic and sedative effects of EtOH observed in the present study. Behavioral tolerance describes "the diminution of a drug-induced disruption of a goal-oriented behavior that is dependent upon learning processes" [55]. Specifically in our experiment, learning to coordinate movements under EtOH exposure even in the home cage might transfer to the tests conditions (rotarod and LORR tests) and thus increase the latency to fall from the rotarod or decrease the LORR duration.…”

Ethanol (EtOH)-induced behavioral sensitization (EIBS) is defined as an enhancement of locomotor activity following repeated EtOH exposure and is proposed to reflect an increase in EtOH "wanting". However, the reliability of the sensitization model in studying addiction is still a matter of debate. One major criticism is that the increase in locomotion occurring during sensitization may be a by-product of tolerance to the ataxic and/or sedative effects of EtOH.We investigated the relationship between EIBS amplitude and sensitivity to EtOH-induced ataxia and sedation after the development of tolerance to EtOH depressant effects in adult female DBA/2J mice. After receiving daily injection of saline or 2 g/kg EtOH during 10 consecutive days to induce EIBS, recovery from acute motor incoordination produced by ethanol (2 g/kg EtOH using rotarod) and from loss of righting reflex (4 g/kg EtOH) was measured.We showed that induction of EtOH sensitization after repeated administration of EtOH is associated with a more rapid recovery from acute motor incoordination and from sedation produced by ethanol when compared to the acute groups, suggesting the development of tolerance to the ataxic and sedative effects of EtOH. However, correlational analyses failed to detect any relationship between EIBS amplitude and the response to EtOH ataxic or sedative effects.Altogether, our results confirm and extend previous data showing a tolerance to the ataxic and sedative properties of EtOH after repeated exposure to EtOH and suggest that this tolerance is not related to the amplitude of EIBS.
