Intraventricular injections of substance P, TRH and somatostatin were administered to rats rendered hypokinetic by bilateral microinjections of 6-hydroxydopamine into the anterolateral hypothalamus, Only substance P in a dose of 0.30 micrigrams/rat significantly increased motor activity as determined by photocell counts in a 5 min test session immediately after administration of the peptide. Behavioral observations indicated that grooming and not locomotion was mainly responsible for the greater activity scores. None of the three peptides at the doses examined potentiated or reduced the increased activity induced by 1 mg/kg apomorphine. Stereotyped behavior was also not affected by previous injections of substance P and somatostatin but was enhanced in animals which had received 5 micrograms/rat TRH 30 min prior to apomorphine.
