Comparison of cocaine (15 mg/kg i.p.) induced changes in striatal neurochemistry between bHRs and bLRs across all time points (−60 to 60 min) using a two-way RM ANOVA. Only dopamine, norepinephrine, 3MT and glycine showed time × cocaine treatment interactions. Specific time points where bHRs and bLRs differed were shown by a Bonferroni post hoc test and are shown in the right most column.
