Age-related increase in CNS sensitivity to benzodiazepines as assessed by task difficulty.

abstract：RATIONALE:While reserpine-induced oral movements (OM), an animal model of tardive dyskinesia, are more persistent in old than in adult rats, old animals present spontaneous OM, which are phenomenologically similar to those presented by reserpine-treated adult rats. We postulate that these OM may be the result of oxidat...
