Norepinephrine and dopamine contribute to distinct repetitive behaviors induced by novel odorant stress in male and female mice
2022-01-25
Abstract excerpt
Exposure to unfamiliar odorants induces an array of repetitive defensive and non-defensive behaviors in rodents which likely reflect adaptive stress responses to the uncertain valence of novel stimuli. Mice genetically deficient for dopamine β-hydroxylase ( Dbh−/− ) lack the enzyme required to convert dopamine (DA) into norepinephrine (NE), resulting in globally undetectable NE and supranormal DA levels. Because...
