Dopaminergic mediation of the stimulant generalization of nicotine.

1. Experiments were conducted to investigate if the psychostimulant cathinone, like d-amphetamine, would produce generalization of the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine. 2. Rats were trained to discriminate either 0.8 mg/kg cathinone from…

Place preference for the psychostimulant cathinone is blocked by pretreatment with a dopamine release inhibitor.

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…

Effects of aging on spinal opioid-induced antinociception.

Initial experiments were conducted to determine whether or not the aging process alters the ability of young, mature, or aged male Fischer 344 rats (5- to 6-, 15- to 16-, and 25- to 26-months-old, respectively) to respond to thermal nociceptive…

Psychostimulant-induced activity is attenuated by two putative dopamine release inhibitors.

Centrally administered amphetamine (AMPH), cathinone, (CATH), or cocaine (COC) have each been shown to produce elevated activity in rats and this effect is dose responsive. The question remains whether these psychostimulants share a common mechanism…

Direct microinjection of cathinone into the rat brain produces discriminative stimuli.

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…

Conditioned place aversion following the central administration of a novel dopamine release inhibitor CGS 10746B.

Numerous drugs of abuse that elevate brain extracellular dopamine concentrations by either increasing the firing rate of dopaminergic neurons or producing dopamine release have been shown to reliably condition a preference for place. If dopamine…

Serotonin contributes to the spinal antinociceptive effects of morphine.

This study was designed to determine if morphine administered intrathecally (IT) interacts with serotonergic or noradrenergic nerve terminals in the spinal cord to produce analgesia on the spinally mediated tail-flick test. Male Sprague-Dawley rats…

Conditioned place aversion produced by dopamine release inhibition.

CGS 10746B, a dopamine release inhibitor with properties similar to the atypical antipsychotic clozapine, was assessed as to its behavioral properties using spontaneous locomotor activity and the conditioned place preference test. Rats conditioned…

A single restraint stress exposure potentiates analgesia induced by intrathecally administered DAGO.

In rats, restraint exposure potentiates the magnitude and duration of analgesia following both the peripheral and intracerebroventricular administration of several opioid agonists as compared to non-stressed controls. It has been suggested that the…

Morphological heterogeneity within the cingulate cortex in rat: a horseradish peroxidase transport study.

We compared the connections of two areas within rat cingulate cortex, the Cg1/Cg2 area vs the Cg3 area, by iontophoresing small quantities of wheatgerm agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) into either of these two divisions and identifying…

The effect of immediate intraperitoneal carboplatinum on wound healing.

The effect of introducing intraperitoneal carboplatinum on wound healing immediately after wound closure was studied using a rat model. All animals were opened through a midline incision. A bowel anastomosis was then performed in a single-or…

Inhibition of dopamine and choline acetyltransferase concentrations in rat CNS neurons by rat alpha 1- and alpha 2-macroglobulins.

Previous studies have implicated human alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) as a potential regulator of neuronal development and function. Rat alpha-1-macroglobulin (alpha1M) and acute-phase alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) are murine homologues of human…
