Experiment 1: The effect of harmaline (30 mg kg−1; i.p.) upon (A) time spent on rotarod apparatus and (B) gripping time in the wire grip test. Results from the same treatment in the gait analysis test are shown as (C) hind paw stride width (cm), (D) right hind paw stride length (cm) and (F) left hind paw stride length (cm). Data describing measures from the gait analysis exhibited a normal distribution and are represented as mean ± SEM. Data describing time on the rotarod apparatus and gripping time in the wire grip test were not normally distributed and are represented as medians with interquartile ranges as a box and maxima/minima as whiskers. * P < 0.05, significantly different from the vehicle (distilled water; i.p.) treated group. Numbers in parentheses indicate group sizes. No data points were excluded as outliers in the presented analyses.
