behavior/neurological
• slight but significant increase in locomotor activity; however, no change in anxiety-related behavior or the anxiolytic effect of diazepam is seen in the elevated-plus-maze
|
nervous system
• in midbrain dopamine neurons GABA-induced inhibitory currents are significantly reduced
|
• a marked decrease in prepulse inhibition is seen at all but the highest and lowest prepulse intensities; treatment with haloperidol restored prepulse inhibition to wild-type levels but ad no effect on prepulse inhibition in wild-type mice
