Discriminative stimulus effect of phenylephrine.

Rats were trained to discriminate phenylephrine in a two-lever, food-motivated operant task by increasing the i.p. administered training dose from 0.8 to 2 mg/kg. Stable discrimination to 2 mg/kg phenylephrine was established and testing of 0.5-2.5…

CGS 10746B is able to attenuate the effects of amphetamine: further evidence for dopaminergic mediation.

Previous results indicate that agents which either decreases synthesis or block postsynaptic dopamine receptors will attenuate the discriminative stimulus produced by d-amphetamine. CGS 10746B has been reported to decrease dopamine release without…

Inverse agonist properties of the FG 7142 discriminative stimulus.

A two-lever, food-motivated discrimination was established between the benzodiazepine receptor partial inverse agonist FG 7142 (5.0 mg/kg) and its vehicle. The FG 7142 discriminative stimulus was pharmacologically characterized by testing trained…

Norfenfluramine, the fenfluramine metabolite, provides stimulus control: evidence for serotonergic mediation.

Nine male rats were trained to discriminate 1.4 mg/kg norfenfluramine (NF) from its vehicle using a two-lever, food-motivated, operant discrimination task. Once trained, the rats showed a dose-dependent decrease in responding on the

Increased drug sensitivity in the drug discrimination procedure afforded by drug versus drug training.

Rats were trained to discriminate norfenfluramine (NF) 1.4 mg/kg from its vehicle or amphetamine (AMPH) 0.8 mg/kg or pentobarbital (PB) 6.0 mg/kg in order to determine the role that drug combination training plays in the rate of learning and…

Drug-drug discrimination: stimulus properties of drugs of abuse upon a serotonergic-dopaminergic continuum.

Ten male N/Nih rats were trained to discriminate between the interoceptive cues produced by the purportedly dopaminergically-mediated drug d-amphetamine at 0.4 mg/kg intraperitoneally administered 20 min prior to training and those produced by the…

MDMA (Ecstasy) substitutes for the ethanol discriminative cue in HAD but not LAD rats.

Selectively bred high- and low-alcohol-drinking (HAD/LAD) rats were trained to discriminate the interoceptive stimuli produced by IP-administered 600 mg/kg ethanol (10% w/v in a two-lever, food-motivated operant task. Once criterion discrimination…

Discriminative stimulus properties of CGS 10746B: similarity to dopamine D1 receptor antagonists.

CGS 10746B is an imidazole-derivative related to the atypical antipsychotic clozapine which produces a decrease in dopamine release without altering dopamine metabolism or occupying D2 receptors. Rats were trained on an appetitively-motivated,…

Cocaethylene produces discriminative stimulus properties in the rat: effect of cocaine and ethanol coadministration.

Experimentally naive Sprague-Dawley male rats were trained to discriminate the interoceptive stimulus cues produced by either 10.0 mg/kg cocaine or 10.0 mg/kg cocaethylene from their saline vehicles. Although it required more sessions to train the…

Cocaine discrimination is attenuated by isradipine and CGS 10746B.

The discriminative stimulus properties of cocaine are thought to be mediated by dopaminergic mechanisms that may be modulated by calcium ion influx and/or interact with 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptors. To test these possibilities, rats were…
