Abstract
IN our previous communication1, we reported the relative effects of ethanol on the midbrain reticular formation and one site within the somatosensory cortex. It was found that the cortex was depressed by ethanol to a greater degree than the reticular formation. Further investigations indicated that the response of the somatosensory cortex to alcohol depended essentially on the site of the recording electrode. In the earlier work the electrode was located on or near the coronal suture line for recording the cortical response on stimulation of the sciatic nerve. In the present report the electrode placement was in the region of the cruciate fissure.
