Prepare the L-dopa mix fresh every day.

Prepare a master mix of: 12.5mg/kg L-dopa and 12.5mg/kg benserazide dissolved in sterile saline with 0.25% citrate (wt/vol). Calculate grams depending on number of mice to be injected. Using vortex will dissolve the solution easier.

Mice are injected intraperitoneally with the 12.5mg/kg L-dopa and 12.5mg/kg benserazide solution.

One hour post injection, mice were tested using the appropiate behavior protocol.
