Modeling

  • Hyperdopaminergia induces hyperlocomotion & disrupts prepulse inhibition (PPI) in mice
  • Haloperidol induces catalepsy in mice (inhibition of dopamine system)
  • Inhibition of hyperlocomotion, reversal of disrupted PPI, and cataleptic potential are commonly used to test efficacy of antipsychotics
  • Induction of catalepsy is used to test extrapyramidal symptoms of antipsychotics
