Project_03 Q30 StudyTitle Pharmacology of sensitization and compulsive checking: dose-response profile of quinpirole (0 0.0312 0.0625 0.125 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg)

Description: This study (Q30) 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 Q30 was Project_03 entitled: "Pharmacology of sensitization and compulsive checking". Title of the first experiment in Q30 was "Effect of QNP dose (0 0.125 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg) on the development of sensitization and compulsive checking (batch 1)". The title of the second experiment, which was a replication but with additional doses of quinpirole, was "Effect of QNP dose (0 0.0312 0.0625 0.125 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg) on the development of sensitization and compulsive checking (batch 2)".
