Abstract
Amphetamine produces locomotor stereotypy (repetitive routes of locomotion) in an open field. In this research we tested the ability of the D1 antagonist SKF 83566 and the D2 antagonist sulpiride to block the locomotor stereotypy produced by 2 mg/kg amphetamine. SKF 83566 decreased amphetamine-induced locomotor stereotypy; sulpiride had no consistent effect on amphetamine-induced locomotor stereotypy. There was no evidence that either antagonist potentiated the effect of the other.
