Abstract:
Ethanol-sensitive long-sleep mice showed greater sensitivity to ethanol-induced hypothermia whereas the less sensitive short-sleep mice showed greater sensitivity to morphine-induced hypothermia. The short-sleep mice, but not the long-sleep mice, displayed a degree of cross-tolerance to the hypothermic effects of ethanol following repeated exposure to morphine.
