Pretreatment with an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, dizocilpine [(+)MK-801; six daily injections of 0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg, i.p.] significantly enhanced subsequent 1.5 g/kg ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion (CTA). In a control experiment, dizocilpine (0.05-.2 mg/kg) produced only a marginal CTA. Thus, pre-exposure to low, non-aversive doses of MK-801 may sensitize rats to the aversi...
