Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a black-hooded mutant rat (BH.7A/Ztm-ci3/ci3) that displays abnormal lateralized circling behavior, but normal auditory and vestibular functions. Neurochemical determination of dopamine and dopamine metabolite levels in striatum, nucleus accumbens and substantia nigra showed that ci3 rats have a significant asymmetry in striatal dopamine in that dopamine levels were significantly...
