Abstract :
[en] Behavioral effects of dopaminergic stimulation were compared for C57BL/6J mice and DBA/2J mice. Effects of apomorphine (APO) alone and in combination with cocaine (COC) were assessed using a time-sampling technique that classified climbing and leaning in separate categories. Climbing occurred in DBA/2J mice only at doses of APO that were 16 times higher than the smallest effective dose in C57BL/6J mice, but relative to baseline values, effects were comparable. Whereas DBA/2J mice showed dose-dependent leaning under APO, C57BL/6J mice exhibited significantly increased leaning only after the highest APO dose. When given alone, COC produced significant climbing, but not leaning or gnawing, in either strain. COC potentiated APO-induced climbing and gnawing in both strains but did not consistently change APO-induced leaning in either strain. APO alone reduced locomotor activity and attenuated COC-induced hyperkinesia. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)
