Declining phase properties of the MK-801 induced hyperlocomotion peak in the young and aged mice

MK-801 (mg/kg) 0.015 0.05 0.15 0.3
Declining time to half-peak height (min) young 84.2±8.0 74.6±5.7 122.2±6.9 177.6±4.2
aged 95.8±7.2 125.2±8.1a 161.5±7.2a 257.5±5.9a
Half-peak height/half-peak declining duration young 5.4±1.6 7.0±1.0 9.7±0.9 8.3±0.9
aged 3.5±1.2 3.8±0.9a 5.2±0.4a 5.1±1.1a

Declining time to half-peak height is the duration from the MK-801 induced hyperlocomotion peak to when the locomotion declines by 50%. Half-peak height/half-peak declining duration is the ratio of half-peak height over declining time to half-peak height. Results are expressed as mean ± S.E.M.
