2-Aminotetralin acts as a neuromodulatory agent by inhibiting serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine reuptake in the rat brain at a dose of 39.4 mg kg. It triggers hypothermia in rats through intracisternal or intraperitoneal injection, while the implantation of crystals in the hypothalamus' medial preoptic area leads to hyperthermia. Additionally, it mimics (+)-amphetamine in a two-lever drug discrimination test among rats in a dose-dependent manner.
