title: Amphetamine-induced circling behaviour in MPTP-lesioned mice.
abstract: This study was designed to examine the effect of intrastriatal administration of MPTP on (+)-amphetamine-induced circling behaviour in mice. The results demonstrate that (+)-amphetamine elicits circling behaviour in MPTP-lesioned animals. MPTP produced a 70% depletion of striatal dopamine concentration.
