β¦ Synopsis
Injections of the selective D, dopamine agonist bromocriptine (5.0 mg/ kg, IP) produced progressively stronger locomotion over 10 days of repeated testing. Concurrent treatment with either the D, antagonist SCH 23390 (0.01 or 0.1 mg/kg, IP) or the D, antagonist raclopride (0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg, IP) suppressed bromocriptine-induced locomotion on treatment days and attenuated or blocked the progressive increases in locomotion that accompanied repeated injections of bromocriptine alone. The fact that D, and D, antagonists each block the acute actions of bromocriptine and attenuate the development of bromocriptine sensitization is suggested to imply a striatal rather than a ventral tegmental mechanism for the sensitization produced by repeated treatments with direct dopamine agonists. o 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Dopamine D 1 -receptor binding in the basal ganglia is differentially regulated by subtype nonspecific dopamine antagonists such as the antipsychotic, Fluphenazine. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relative contributions of D 1 and D 2 receptor systems in the regulation of basal
## 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
