Description:
Rats subjected to unilateral ablation of the motor cortex and placed on a narrow beam displayed transient contralateral paresis. An immediate and enduring acceleration of recovery was produced by a single dose of d-amphetamine given 24 hours after injury. This effect was blocked by haloperidol or by restraining the animals for 8 hours beginning immediately after amphetamine administration. A single dose of haloperidol given 24 hours after injury markedly slowed recovery. This effect was also blocked by restraining the animals.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Feeney, D M -- Gonzalez, A -- Law, W A -- RR 08139-07/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Aug 27;217(4562):855-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7100929" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
