Abstrakt: Repetitive motor behaviors are associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorder. Non-invasive environmental interventions that can ameliorate repetitive behavior and be introduced in early development could benefit many. In Experiment 1, we characterized the development of repetitive circling in mice reared in standard and enriched environments. Environmental enrichment was associated with reduced repetitive behavior. In Experiment 2, two weekly injections of an A2A adenosine receptor agonist reduced repetitive behavior in mice fed a ketogenic diet. Together, these two approaches modified the environment and reduced repetitive behavior with potential implications for increased functioning of the indirect basal ganglia pathway.
