Bombesin, a tetradecapeptide originally isolated from the skin of the frog Bombina bombina,’elicits dose-related excessive grooming when injected centrally in rats2-‘as well as other specie^.^ The grooming induced by intracerebroventricular (i. cv.) bombesin in rats consists of hindlimb scratching directed primarily at the head and neck, although facial grooming, body washing, nail licking and biting, forepaw tremors, wetdog shakes, and stretching also occur. Bombesin-induced grooming behavior can be observed within a few minutes of icv injection and continues for 30-45 minutes. In contrast to the grooming induced by a variety of other peptides such as ACTHI-,,, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, substance P, P-endorphin, and nonpeptides such as
