Abstract:
Vasopressin administration induced a right-sided bias in the rat litter, the asymmetry being similar to a right-sided bias in the turning behaviour of adult male rats in the T-maze. The findings suggest the nigrostriatal system to be responsible for the lateralising effect of vasopressin in the brain.
