Amphetamine caused dose-related circling in cats, similar to rodents. This suggests a common dopamine asymmetry in the striatum across many animal species, influencing behavior.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Animal Behavior

Background:

Rodent studies show amphetamine-induced rotation.
This behavior is linked to striatal dopamine asymmetry.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate amphetamine-induced rotation in naive cats.
To determine if cats exhibit consistent rotational behavior.

Main Methods:

Administered amphetamine to 9 naive cats.
Observed and recorded circling behavior.
Noted rotation direction and rate.

Main Results:

Amphetamine caused dose-related rotation in cats.
All cats showed rotation, even without drugs.
Rotation direction was consistent per cat (6 right, 3 left).

Conclusions:

Rotational behavior in cats is influenced by amphetamine.
Suggests endogenous striatal dopamine asymmetry in cats.
Supports dopamine asymmetry as a common trait in animal species.
