Exploratory and stereotyped behaviour of Male Wistar rats was studied on a hole-board. The two forms of behaviour were differentiated according to the pattern of hole-dipping activity. Increasing doses of dl-amphetamine stimulated both forms of behaviour with stereotyped behaviour becoming predomina

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of exposing mice to a hole-board in reducing the number of head dips made on a subsequent exposure was studied. The period of first exposure that was effective in causing this reduction, the interval between exposure that must elapse before this effect appears and the duration of the effect were also determined. Chlordiazepoxide and other benzodiazepine tranquillizers, given before initial exposure, increased activity in small doses but had little effect upon subsequent activity. They did not affect characteristics of familiarization beyond possibly a slight shortening of the latent period.

A study was designed to test whether anterograde impairments of memory caused by benzodiazepines are dependent on the depth at which information is processed. The effects of two dose levels of two benzodiazepines (loraxpam I , 2mg; oxarepam 15, 30mg) and a placebo were compared using a double-blind,
The effects of oral contraceptive steroids (OCS) on the disposition and elimination of lorazepam, oxazepam, and chlordiazepoxide were examined. Lorazepam and oxazepam are metabolized via glucuronidation while chlordiazepoxide is metabolized by oxidation in the liver. The disposition and elimination
Behavioural and developmental effects of exposure to a low level of ethyl alcohol from conception to adulthood have been examined in mice. A 5 % solution of alcohol in the drinking fluid of male and female adults did not impair fertility. The offspring of treated mice were significantly lighter at b
