Note(s): The purpose of this study was to determine whether prior sensitization of stereotypy interferes with the development and retention of tolerance to amphetamine-induced hypophagia. Rats were given intermittent injections of either amphetamine (2.5 mg/kg) to induce sensitization of stereotypy, or saline. Subgroups from each group then received daily injections of either amphetamine (2 mg/kg) or saline and access to milk for 30 min. Both sensitized and nonsensitized groups became tolerant to drug-induced hypophagia at about the same rate and to about the same extent. Such tolerance was accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of stereotyped movements while milk was available.
