Effects of intra-ventral tegmental area (VTA) treatment with SR142948A on locomotor activity. (A) Basal locomotor activity was not affected by 5 days of SR142948A or saline microinfusions. Distance traveled before self-administration was overall higher in the control group in training days 6 to 12 (A1), in fixed ratio 3 (FR3) maintenance sessions (A2), and in cue-reinstatement (cue-reins, A4). (B) In the control group, the net increase in locomotion after methamphetamine (METH) self-administration (post-session – pre-session) was higher compared with SR142948A-treated mice only on training days 9 to 12 (B1). No significant changes between groups were detected in maintenance (B2), extinction sessions (B3), cue-reins, or the last FR3 session (B4). Bonferroni posthoc comparisons: *P<.05, **P<.01, and ***P<.001 vs CONTROL.
