Measurement of spontaneous climbing behavior of mice, made in Mouse Climbing Monitors which used photo cell detection of vertical movements, was most reliable and intense when made over a 40-min period using 2 mice/cage and taking readings before 1400 h. The climbing response was antagonized by low doses of the neuroleptics (-)-sulpiride and spiroperidol, and by low doses of the dopamine agonists apomorphine, N-n-propylbenzo(f)quinoline, N-n-propylbenzo(g)quinoline and 2-di-n-propylamino-5,6-dihydroxytetralin; N,N-dipropyldopamine was less effective. Higher doses of the dopamine agonists induced climbing. The inhibition afforded by apomorphine was partially antagonized by (-)-sulpiride and spiroperidol (at doses which do not in themselves modify spontaneous climbing) but not by prazosin or yohimbine. Bilateral electrolesions of the caudate-putamen, nucleus accumbens or tuberculum olfactorium attentuated spontaneous climbing for the first 5-9 postoperative days, the accumbens lesions being most effective. Spontaneous climbing behavior of mice can be precisely quantified, dopamine-containing forebrain areas are involved with its expression, and it can be potently modified by dopamine agonists and antagonists.
