20 compounds acting on the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system were tested in guinea pigs for their ability te induce gnawing. Only methylphenidate induced vigorous gnawing similar to that produced by apomorphine and amphetamine. Methylphenidate differs in its mode of action from
