In this study we investigated the effect of imipramine, citalopram and mianserin on behavioural effects of methoxamine, an a,-adrenoceptor agonist, in the rat. Methoxamine (25 and 50 pg) given into the brain lateral ventricle, increases the exploratory activity assessed in the open field test (time

## Abstract The ergoline derivative FCE 23884 acts as a dopamine D~1~ agonist in untreated parkinsonian animals and as a D~2~ antagonist in animals whose dopamine system is intact or levodopa treated. To evaluate whether this dual action might benefit patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have
The effects of the dopamine (DA) receptor agonists apomorphine, bromocriptine and pergolide were compared with those produced by a DA receptor antagonist, haloperidol, in rats implanted with electrodes for chronic sleep recordings. Apomorphine (0.025-2.0 mg/kg) and bromocriptine (0.25-6.0 mg/kg) ind
L-dopa remains the most common treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, there is considerable interest in D3/D2 receptor agonists such as the novel agent S32504, since they exert antiparkinsonian properties in the absence of dyskinesia. An important question concerns the roles of D2 vs. D3 recept
## Abstract Glutamate, one of the excitatory neurotransmitters, contributes to the neuronal death associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, and with ischemia. In Alzheimer's disease brains, there is a decreased number of dopamine D2 receptors,
