Study of locomotion, rearing and grooming activity after single and/or concomitant lesions of central and peripheral nervous system in rats

Abstract

Locomotion, rearing and grooming represent different forms of behaviour and motor activity in rats. In this study, changes in these activities were analysed in relation to impaired function of the nervous system by single and/or concomitant lesions representing an experimental model of the dual diagnosis.
