Abstract
Myoclonus induced by catechol in the guinea-pig is not altered by manipulation of cerebral 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The administration of catechol does not alter brain levels of 5-HT or its metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid. This form of myoclonus therefore is not of relevance to the 5-HT-sensitive post-anoxic action myoclonus occurring in man.
