Constriction of environmental space and the behavioral response to the dopamine agonist quinpirole
Abstract
The present study examines the influence of size of testing environment on the behavioral profile seen following injection of the dopamine D2 receptor agonist quinpirole (0.5 mg/kg, n = 16) or saline (n = 16). All rats were tested in a counterbalanced order in both a small and large environment.
