Assessment of behavioral sensitization to AMPH (Experiment 3).

Behavior Experimental Groups

SAL-SAL SAL-AMPH AMPH-SAL AMPH-AMPH
Total distance traveled (Horizontal activity) 4107 ± 765 16812 ± 4046* 3956 ± 499 26597 ± 3363** ˆ
Vertical activity (Rearing) 402 ± 125 1730 ± 569* 373 ± 94 3073 ± 594** ˆ

Behavioral data are expressed as total distance traveled (cm) or vertical activity (beam breaks) measured over 3h following the SAL or AMPH (1 mg/kg i.p.) challenge administered to rats pretreated with repeated SAL or AMPH. Mean (± SEM), n = 6-8,
