☆ The term “chronic” ethanol (alcohol) consumption (intake, exposure) is used heterogeneously across the literature. Although every attempt has been made, in this article, to provide the defining criterion or criteria used by investigators cited, the reader is advised to retrieve the published articles of the cited works to obtain technical details of the experiment and, thus, determine what constitutes “chronic” in the respective study designs. In the current study, chronic is defined as 28 days.
