Various doses of bupropion HC1 (Wellbatrin) (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg), a new phenylaminoketone antidepressant, were employed as cues in a two-lever operant discrimination from saline control injections in rats on an FRI0 schedule of food reinforcement.

Rats were trained to discriminate 0.10 mg/kg SC physostigmine from saline in a two-lever food-reinforced task. There was generalization to the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor THA as well as to the muscarinic receptor agonists arecoline, oxotremorine and RS 86, but not to neostigmine or nicotine. Th
The purpose of the present study was to assess the role of dopamine D 1 and D 2 receptors in the discriminative stimulus properties of the atypical antipsychotic clozapine (CLZ). Two groups of rats were trained to discriminate either a moderate dose of clozapine (5.0 mg/kg) from vehicle or a high do
