Previous work has indicated that the psychostimulant cathinone produces a location preference in the conditioned place preference task. The present study expanded upon this earlier work by examining the dose-response nature of cathinone-induced…
Rats were trained to discriminate IP administration of 800 micrograms/kg cathinone using a food-motivated, two-lever discrimination procedure. Following training, 800 micrograms/kg cathinone discrimination was produced (generalized) by lower…
1. The objective of Exp. 1 was to determine whether intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of cathinone CATH (8.0-32 micrograms) would produce a dose-dependent conditioned place preference (CPP) and/or activation in rats. Results indicate that rats…
