Drug-induced changes in the maternal behavior of rats

S Franková. Psychopharmacology (Berl). .

Abstract

The effect of chlorpromazine and amphetamine (3 mg/kg b.w. injected s.c.) on the maternal behavior of rats was observed on days 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 after the birth of the young. Spontaneous behavior in the presence of the young and contacts with them were recorded in four different testing situations. Both drugs interfered with the maternal behavior of female rats and reduced the duration of contacts with the young. The level of behavioral manifestations depended on the type of experimental procedure.
