Individual variability in the acute and chronic effects of psychomotor stimulants is due, in part, to genetic factors. The purpose of this series of studies was to utilize a behavioral model of sensitization, namely increased locomotor activity, to assess individual variability in sensitization to the chronic effects of cocaine and its relationship to the acute stimulant effects of cocaine. Because the degree of...
