behavior/neurological
• in the Y-maze, mice show no differences in the total number of arm entries, however they exhibit a lower percentage of spontaneous alternation indicating impaired attention
• methylphenidate treated mice show increased spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze
• however, mice do not show locomotor alternation, impulsive behavior, anxiety, or motor-balance impairment
|
• in the novel-object recognition test, mice show a lower investigation time and discrimination index indicating impaired attention
• mice treated with methylphenidate show improved investigation time and enhanced discrimination index in the novel-object recognition test
|
nervous system
• mice show elevated striatal dopaminergic-related gene expression that is normalized with methylphenidate treatment
