Abstract
THE increased toxicity of amphetamine in aggregated mice has been reported by several workers1–3. Among the factors which have been found to contribute to the enhancement of toxicity in aggregated mice are cage floor area, environmental temperature, and body-weight2–4. The present investigation has examined the effect of type of sensory contact between mice as a factor influencing amphetamine toxicity.
