Abstract: Examines the effect of stress on striatal dopamine metabolism by the expression of non-functional masticatory activity in rats. Inducement of central noradrenergic neurotransmission through stress; Involvement of striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission in oral movements in rats; Application of tail pinch as stressor.
