Abstract

The effects of acute and chronic imipramine treatment on the degree of catalepsy were compared in GC rats genetically predisposed to catalepsy. We recorded the time over which the rats remained in a vertical position they were placed. As differentiated from acute treatment, chronic administration of imipramine dose-dependently decreased the time of freezing in GC rats.
