Abstract
A model of hyperactive rats was produced by exposing pups to severe anoxia within 24 h following birth. These rats demonstrated augmented motor activity in ambulation, sniffing and rearing activities in an open field. Activity was significantly increased at 10 days of age, maximal at 20-25 days and returned to normal values around 6 weeks of age.
