Chlorpromazine, one of the phenothiazine derivatives, suppresses the avoidance response at doses which neither produce ataxia nor impair the performance of an escape response (Cook et al. ; MILLn~ et M., 1957 a; MAF~II). The avoidance response suppression is a property of most, if not all, phenothia

โฆ Synopsis
Chlorpromazine exerts a significantly higher impairment on the performance of C57BL/6By than on BALB/cBy inbred mice pretrained in an active avoidance task. The effects of the drug on this measure assessed in these two strains, their reciprocal F 1 hybrids, their recombinant inbred strains, and two C57BL/6By eongenic lines indicate that at least two genes modulate the action of chlorpromazine on avoidance behavior. It was possible to characterize one of the loci modulating the effect of chlorpromazine on avoidance performance. We assign the symbol Cpz. The locus is in chromosome 9, Linkage Group II.

In mice, marked decrement in response strength occurred when conditioned avoidance responses were acquired under amphetamine but emitted without amphetamine or under chlorpromazine; or acquired under chlorpromazine and emitted without chlorpromazine or under amphetamine.
