Abstract
Spontaneous locomotor activity has been studied in mice treated with chlordiazepoxide, atropine, and scopolamine, given alone or in combination. Chlordiazepoxide alone increased activity for a short time, while the two anticholinergic drugs produced longer lasting stimulatory effects. Locomotor stimulation was stronger when chlordiazepoxide and anticholinergics were given in combination.Keywords
