Differential Effect of the Dopamine Agonist ( )-7-Hydroxy-2-(N,N-di-n-propylamino) Tetralin (7-OH-DPAT) on Motor Activity between Adult Wistar and Sprague-Dawley Rats after a Neonatal Ventral Hippocampus Lesion

Figure 3

Locomotor activity in a novel environment measured as the time spent in ambulation (TA) in male adult Wistar (W) and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with a neonatal ventral hippocampus lesion. Data are the mean ± SE ( animals per group) of the TA in 3 min. The administration of 7-OH-DPAT (0.25 mg/kg sc) decreased the TA in all groups except in SD rats with a lesion. In addition, the sham W rats were more active than the sham SD rats. , Student-Newman-Keuls test.
