Striatal patch compartment lesions reduce stereotypy following repeated cocaine administration.

Murray R, Logan M, Horner K (2015) Striatal patch compartment lesions reduce stereotypy following repeated cocaine administration. Brain Res 1618:286-298. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2015.06.012 PMID: 26100338 Objective: Investigate the impact of neuron ablation in the striatum on stereotypy, a form of repetitive and uncontrollable behavior, in rats following cocaine administration. Summary: Stereotypy, characterized by rigid, repetitive behaviors […]
