Project_02 Q46 StudyTitle Probing the neurochemistry of sensitization and compulsive checking: dopamine and serotonin systems

This study (Q46) is one of a series of studies performed in the Szechtman lab at McMaster University and deposited in the FRDR public repository as a collection under the name "A Digital Library of Behavioural Performance in Standardized Conditions - Szechtman Lab Collection". This collection as a whole constitutes a big dataset containing raw data objects of video, track, and path plot records of rats exploring for 55 minutes a large testing environment in a standardized paradigm during chronic treatment with psychostimulant drugs; for details of this big dataset see, https://www.frdr-dfdr.ca/repo/collection/szechtmanlab. The historical context for study Q46 was Project_02 entitled: "Probing the neurochemistry of sensitization and compulsive checking". Title of experiment in Q46 was "Effect of 8OHDPAT dose (0 0.03125 0.0625 0.125 mg/kg) co-injected with a low dose of QNP (0.125 mg/kg) on the development of sensitization and compulsive checking (batch 2). Q46 is repeated as Study Q47 (hence "batch 1" in title of experiment for Q46). For Q46, each rat received 13 trials in the open field.
