Lateralized and compulsive exteroceptive orientation in rats treated with apomorphine
Abstract
A new behavioral test afforded the original demonstration of a compulsive and extremely lateralized taxis for edges in a minority (16%) of rats treated with the dopamine (DA) receptor agonist apomorphine (APO) (1.25 mg/kg, s.c.). APO also induced a reliable lateralization of locomotor direction in a rotometer in 29% of rats. The lateralizing effects of the drug on taxis for edges and rotational direction were not reliably associated, however, …
