Abstract
The diurnal light-dark cycle, grouping of rats and spatial organization of the environment may effect the behavioral responses of animals to psychoactive drugs. A method of working with these factors experimentally is described, using a residential maze equipped with photocells for recording activity of groups of animals. Preliminary results show reliable activity measurements are produced which are sensitive to modification by drugs such as morphine and amphetamine.
