Influence of acute and chronic administration of two types of antidepressant drugs i.e. trieye]ic compounds and monoamine oxidase inhibiters (MAOIs), on the Open Field behaviom-in rats was examined. Two types of stereotyped behaviour were observed in the open field test namely simple stereotypy (amb

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
Several lines of evidence (binding studies, reduced responsiveness of brain adenylate cyclase to noradrenergic stimulation, electrophysiological data) indicate that chronic treatment with antidepressant drugs induces subsensitivity of central ]~-adrenergic receptors. We studied the effect of acute (
The lever-pressing behaviour of three rats was maintained by a schedule in which food reinforcement was obtained by any response which was emitted at least 15 s after the previous response (DRL 15 s). When performance on this schedule had stabilised, the animals were presented intermittently with l-
