Description:
There is less hyperactive motor activity and better avoidance performance in rat pups treated with 6-hydroxydopamine as neonates and reared with vehicle-treated littermates than in pups reared in litters composed solely of other 6-hydroxydopamine-treated animals. Thus, in this experimental model of hyperactivity, an environmental manipulation provides an alternative to pharmacologic agents in reducing activity and improving learning performance.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pearson, D E -- Teicher, M H -- Shaywitz, B A -- Cohen, D J -- Young, J G -- Anderson, G M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Aug 8;209(4457):715-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7394533" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
