  • Doses are in mg/kg, s.c. All animals received acute haloperidol (2.5 mg/kg, s.c.). Data are means ± S.E.M.s for duration of catalepsy (sec). ANOVA as follows. Acute S 16924, F (1,32) = 57.6, P < .001; chronic S 16924, F (1,32) = 7.2, P < .01 and interaction, F (1,32) = 7.5, P < .01. Acute clozapine, F (1,34) = 42.9, P < .001; chronic clozapine, F (1,34) = 0.1, P > .05 and interaction, F (1,34) = 0.6, P > .05. Asterisks denote significance of differences to respective acute vehicle values in Newman-Keuls test following ANOVA.

  • 5-a P < .05.
