When 2 R-deprived rats received 9-THC, one of the animals displayed very aggressive postures, while its partner assumed incomplete defensive postures. The behavioral alterations induced in REMdeprived rats by amphetamine, LSD-25, and pentobarbital failed to provoke defensive postures in the normal rats paired with them; however, apomorphine partially mimicked the delta-9-THC effects.
