Dosage Studied

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Experiments on isolated mice (CC57W males) have demonstrated that GABA antagonists (bicuculline, picrotoxin, thiosemicarbazide) increase the desocializing effects of isolation (enhance aggression and reduce intraspecies sociability), while GABA-positive drugs (muscimol, gamma-acetylenic GABA) within a certain dosage range diminish aggression and favour a temporary recovery of sociability."( [GABA-ergic correlates of aggression and intraspecies sociability of mice subjected to isolation].
