The roles of catecholamine and 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) release in mediating backward walking and circling were studied in rats. These behaviours occurred in animals given 15mg/kg intraperitoneally of (+)‐amphetamine (which predominantly releases catecholamines) or either p ‐chloroamphetamine or fenfluramine (which predominantly release 5‐HT). They also occurred when smaller doses of...
