A single intraperitoneal injection of ethanol (2 g/kg) disturbed the learning and performance of one trial passive avoidance task and decreased (by 14 %) the level of RNA-synthesizing activity of brain cortical synaptosomes in rats. The data obtained are discussed in accordance with the hypothesis that ethanol affects synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.
