inhibitory effect on curiosity (exploratory behaviour) Explanation: It looks to me like this word was derived from the Greek philopeustia, meaning fondness for inquiry, curiosity (https://lsj.gr/wiki/φιλοπευστία) with the lytique/lytic part meaning loosen/break down. That fits with the context "Les neuroleptiques (...) Ils diminuent la motilité et l'exploration, même à des doses qui, apparemment, ne modifient pas le comportement. Cette action aux très faibles doses est particulièrement sensible pour l'exploration (action philopeustialytique)." I don't know if there's a dedicated word for that effect, but philopeustialytique does not appear to have caught on! |
