Abstract
Eight group-living male monkeys received cocaine (0 to 3.0 mg/kg) individually or as a group. Cocaine suppressed social affiliative behaviors, eating, and drinking (of both alcohol and control solutions). It induced bizarre stereotypies, hypervigilance, panic-like fleeing, enhancement and then suppression of locomotion, and a seizure. Cocaine had little effect on aggressiveness or sexual behavior. Proportion of time spent lying or sitting changed significantly. Cocaine produced severe behavioral abnormality in this social setting.
