behavior/neurological
N |
• mice exhibit normal activity in the home cage regardless of light phase, habituation to the open field, anxiety-like behavior and spontaneous alteration
|
• in response to cocaine, mice exhibit hyperactivity and enhanced conditioned place preference behavior compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit increased response to cocaine at lower doses compared with wild-type mice
• however, corticosterone levels are not related to cocaine-induced hyperactivity
|
• in response to cocaine
|
• in response to cocaine, methylphenidate or alcohol, mice exhibit hyperactivity compared with wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in response to stress, mice exhibit prolonged stress-induced HPA activation with elevated corticosterone levels for longer than in wild-type mice
• however, corticosterone levels are not related to cocaine-induced hyperactivity
