| Popis: | The effects of d-amphetamine sulfate and methylphenidate hydrochloride on auditory thresholds in ten squirrel monkeys were examined using a 4.2 kHz stimulus in a free field. The results indicated that d-amphetamine raised auditory thresholds but methylphenidate did not alter the thresholds. The elevation of sensory thresholds by d-amphetamine was in agreement with previous studies suggesting that the drug acts as a behavioral depressant in diurnal animals. |
