VTA dopamine depletion did not influence movement. (A) Individual examples of locomotor activity during an open field test showing no motor impairments in controls and VTA 6OHDA, while right median-forebrain bundle dopamine depletion (MFB 6-OHDA) caused circling and decreased movement. (B) Group analyses revealed that in comparison to controls, VTA 6-OHDA had no effect on the distance traveled during an open field test while MFB 6-OHDA exhibited significantly impaired movement. (C) There were no significant differences between controls and VTA 6-OHDA animals in rotarod performance. * indicates statistical significance, p<0.05.
