Rats were administered with different doses of d,/-propranolol or d,l-propranolol plus amphetamine before open-field observations. Results show that d,/-propranolol decreased locomotion and rearing frequencies and increased immobility duration in rats. An antagonism between the effects of amphetamin
Rats were tested for 3 min per day, for 4 successive days, in an open field apparatus, 20 min after injection of either lithium chloride (2 mEq/kg) or physiological saline. In the first experiment, the open field was illuminated with moderate white light for some rats (stress condition) and dim red
