Abstract
Using the anaesthetic effects of the alcohols to measure their concentration within the cockroach central nervous system, it is shown that the lower homologues have access half-times of only a few seconds. Slower access of the higher homologues is interpreted in terms of a reservoir effect resulting from their higher liposolubility.
