After chronic administration of ethanol to mice by the intragastric route head twitches occur as part of the ethanol withdrawal syndrome. Treatments which reduce brain 5-hydroxytryptamine or increase brain noradrenaline inhibited ethanol withdrawal head twitches, whereas treatments which increase brain 5-hydroxytryptamine or reduce brain noradrenaline were capable of inducing head twitches in control animals.
