Description	The aim of this study was to evaluate, if mice with a differential behavioural approach, either aggressive or submissive, express after repeated methamphetamine administration dissimilar behavioural sensitization patterns. The experimental mouse groups - control, aggressive and timid mice did not differ in the exhibition of horizontal locomotor activity in the open field test.
