Samenvatting
The setting up of an animal model in an effort to reduce the subjectivity of human studies and to develop a standardized model of evaluating drugs that might interfere with the driving act is described. A study was designed to examine the effect of drugs on the learned behaviour and motor function of rats in a complex maze. Three psychotropic agents, Phenobarbital Chlordiazepoxide (Librium), Diazepam (Valium), and sodium salicylate (aspirin), were used in the tests.
