Abstract
In humans, the energy drinks have generated controversy as to whether its effects are beneficial or harmful to the health of those who consume them. The objectives of this study were measured in male rats: 1) its possible addictive effect, 2) its effect on motor activity and 3) its effect on operant conditioning. It turned out that if it is addictive, does not significantly alter motor activity and significantly alters learning in a T maze and generate an immobility behavior in the maze and hyperexcitability in general.
