Abstract

V originále

There is evidence that methamphetamine (MET) increases spontaneous locomotor activity in both, humans and animals. The presnt study investigated MET effects on the full repertoire of agonistic behavioural acts including sociable, defensive-escape, aggressive, and locomotor activities in singly-housed male mice in paired interactions with non-aggressive group-housed partners. MET in our experiments elicited significant inhibition of aggressivity and stimulatory influence on locomotor behaviour, results resembling those of some earlier studies.
