Abstract The effects of substances which raise the extracellular level of dopamine in the striatum (amphetamine, pargyline, nomifenzine, sulpiride, piracetam, and L-DOPA) on the intensity of haloperidol-induced catalepsy were studied in rats. It was shown that elevation of the extracellular content of dopamine in the striatum hindered the development of haloperidol catalepsy in rats.
