Acute and repeated administration of antipsychotic drugs produce distinctive profiles of electrophysiological effects on the population activity of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons which correlate with their clinical effects. Sigma receptors have been hypothesized to be involved in psychosis and i
Rats were fed a diet containing lithium which maintained their serum lithium levels between 0.3--0.9 mEq/1 for one week prior to behavioral tests. The activity, reactivity, and endurance of the rats was measured in the open field, activity wheel, Skinner box, jiggle cage and swim-to-exhaustion tests
The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) receives a dopaminergic (DA) innervation from the midbrain. Among its many efferent projections, the CeA innervates the substantia nigra. The possibility that the CeA influences the activity of nigral DA neurons was evaluated. The effects of electrical stimu
