Lateralizing effects of apomorphine on taxis, postural support and rotation in rats
Abstract
Subcutaneous injections of apomorphine, a dopamine receptor agonist, induced a lateralization of taxis for edges in 16% of rats and a reliable lateralization of postural support in 82% of rats. The relation among these effects and the lateralizing effects of apomorphine on rotational behavior were examined. Lateralized rotation did not reliably correlate with lateralized taxis. However, it correlated with a relatively large asymmetry of …
