TL;DR
Non-effective doses of scopolamine were found to augment the tendency of amphetamine to increase the response rates of rats working in an operant, shock-avoidance situation.
Abstract
Non-effective doses of scopolamine were found to augment the tendency of amphetamine to increase the response rates of rats working in an operant, shock-avoidance situation. This finding is presumably related to our earlier observation that the related parasympatholytic, atropine, also had this augmenting action.

In a subsidiary series of experiments methyl atropine was found to be much less potent thanAtropine in augmenting the effects of amphetamine on responding and markedly augmented the increases in rate observed after amphetamine.
