To determine the impact of chronic low-dose ethanol exposure on sensitivity to changes in stimulus value, a conditioned taste aversion procedure was used. Adult male and female mice underwent a sucrose two bottle-choice drinking paradigm. Each day, mice received an injection of either low-dose ethanol (0.5g\/kg) or saline two hours after sucrose access for 20 days. This was followed by a lithium chloride (LiCl)-induced conditioned taste aversion (CTA) paradigm in which 0.15M LiCl or vehicle injection was administered immediately after sucrose consumption for three days. On the fourth day, changes in sucrose consumption were analyzed. Chronic exposure to low-dose ethanol did not affect sucrose consumption in either female of male mice during two-bottle choice. In female mice, a history of chronic low-dose ethanol exposure blocked the development of LiCl-induced CTA. A history of chronic low-dose ethanol did not impact LiCl-induced CTA in male mice as both ethanol-na\u00efve and -exposed male mice who underwent LiCl pairing reduced sucrose consumption. This suggests that low-dose ethanol alters aversion-related learning in female mice which may have implication for development of aberrant behavior and risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.64898\/2026.06.08.730505","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T17:50:15Z","timestamp":1781200215000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Attenuated
