Research Abstract |
We investigated whether environmental enrichment (i.e. exposure to a running wheel) affected methamphetamine (METH) effects, such as hyperlocomotion and abuse, in mice. Gradually increasing running wheel activity was observed over three consecutive days after exposure to a running wheel with no effects on their food or water intakes. Exposure to the running wheel did not affect METH-induced hyperlocomotion or development of abuse, but the exposure accelerated the extinction of METH abuse.
