The research was carried out using 99 healthy male mice, aged 7-10 weeks. The results showed that ketamine dosed 20 mg/kg/day for 14 consecutive days did not affect locomotor activity but reduced social interaction in mice compared with control group. Haloperidol dosed 2mg/kg/day improved social interaction but not spatial memory in mice model of schizophrenia compared with control group.
