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…

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…

Inverse agonist properties of the THBC discriminative stimulus: asymmetrical generalization with FG 7142.

Male rats were trained to discriminate the stimulus properties of the beta-carbolines 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (THBC) (15.0 mg/kg) or FG 7142 (5.0 mg/kg) from vehicle in a two-lever, food-motivated operant task. Consistent with the…

Discriminative stimulus control by the anxiogenic beta-carboline FG 7142: generalization to a physiological stressor.

Drug discrimination was employed to investigate the similarities between FG

MDMA-like stimulus effects of hallucinogens in male Fawn-Hooded rats.

A two-lever, food-motivated, operant technique was employed to train the purportedly serotonergically dysfunctional Fawn-Hooded (FH) rat to discriminate 1.5 mg/kg MDMA. Once all 10 male subjects learned the MDMA-vehicle discrimination at criterion…

Discriminative characteristics of high and low cocaine administration: effect of other psychostimulants.

Two groups of N/Nih male rats were trained to discriminate saline vehicle from either 2.0 mg/kg (n = 10) or 10.0 mg/kg (n = 10) cocaine in a food-motivated, two-lever operant paradigm. The rats trained at the low-dose cocaine took a significantly…

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,…

Discriminative stimulus properties of isradipine: effect of other calcium channel blockers.

This study constitutes the first report of a calcium channel blocker used as a drug capable of controlling differential responding in a drug-discrimination paradigm. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to discriminate between intraperitoneally…

Evidence for noradrenergic involvement in mediating the FG 7142 discriminative stimulus.

Rats were trained to discriminate the stimulus properties of the benzodiazepine receptor partial inverse agonist beta-carboline-3-carboxylate acid methyl amide (FG 7142) (5.0 mg/kg) or the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist 17…
