Rats received haloperidol (1.3-1.5 mg/kg/day) via their drinking water for 21 weeks. At the end of this period the density of D2 dopamine receptors and their affinity for [3H]-spiperone were measured in the striatum and medial prefrontal cortex. The chronic haloperidol treatment increased the densit

Previously, we demonstrated that serotonin-lesioned rats had an enhanced mesoprefrontal dopaminergic response to restraint stress. This study attempted to extend our knowledge regarding this serotonin/dopamine interaction by seeing if suppression of serotonin metabolism by chronic administration of
In this study, we assessed the effects of the acute (a single injection) and repeated (once daily injections for 21 days) administration of the atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine (1.5, 5, or 15 mg/kg i.p.) and the typical antipsychotic drug haloperidol (0.15, 0.5, and 1.5 mg/kg, i.p.) on hippocam
