title: Differential effects of ageing on distinct features of apomorphine stereotypy in the adult rat.
abstract: Locomotor features of stereotypy induced by 0.15 mg/kg of subcutaneous apomorphine increased over the age ranges of 2.5-8 and 8-10 months in the adult rat. Perioral features of stereotypy induced by 1 mg/kg of apomorphine, and spontaneous activity did not show age-dependent changes. Heterogeneous features of apomorphine stereotypy may have distinct physiological substrates that are differentially sensitive to parameters of maturation and ageing.
