Abstract

Physical dependence to phenobarbital via an oral ingestion method was demonstrated in rats. Also, the utility of air-puff-elicited startle for assessing both intoxication and withdrawal effects was shown. Avoidance of phenobarbital-adulterated food was enhanced as a result of prior exposure to chronic phenobarbital intoxication and subsequent withdrawal.
