Effect of arcaine or spermidine administration into the amygdala on the behavior of rats in the open field test
| Drug (nmol) | Latency to leave the central area (sec) | Number of central areas crossed | Number of peripheral areas crossed |
|---|---|---|---|
| PBS (100) | 1.6 ± 0.5 | 3.0 ± 0.5 | 21.3 ± 4.4 |
| Arcaine (0.02) | 1.0 ± 0.1 | 3.7 ± 0.9 | 22.4 ± 3.4 |
| Spermidine (0.02) | 1.0 ± 0.08 | 3.4 ± 0.9 | 25.3 ± 7.3 |
| Statistical analysis | F(2,23) = 1.67; p > 0.05 | F(2,23) = 0.22; p > 0.05 | F(2,23) = 0.14; p > 0.05 |
Data are reported as the means ± SEM for eight to nine animals in each group.
