## Opioid receptor agonists (e.g.,488) increase the locomotor activity of preweanling rats, while the same drugs depress the locomotor activity of adults. Curiously, direct stimulation of dopamine (DA) D 2 -like receptors fully attenuates the U-50,488-induced locomotor activity of preweanling rats
Low doses of piribedil (0.25-5.0mg/kg) administered acutely produced reliable decrements in locomotor activity in thirsty and non-thirsty animals, the greatest effect occurring at the highest dose. A sequence of ten daily injections of piribedil produced indications of the development of tolerance,
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
Relatively high doses of systemically administered apomorphine inhibit penile reflexes. It is possible that these inhibitory effects are due, at least in part, to actions of apomorphine on the lumbosacral spinal cord. The present experiments examined this possibility by injecting apomorphine (10 and
