Effects of Tandospirone, a 5-HT1A Agonistic Anxiolytic Agent, on Haloperidol-Induced Catalepsy and Forebrain Fos Expression in Mice

We studied the effects of tandospirone, a 5-HT1A agonistic anxiolytic agent, on haloperidol-induced catalepsy and forebrain Fos expression in mice. Haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) markedly increased the catalepsy time and enhanced Fos expression in the shell (AcS) and core (AcC) regions of the nucleus...
