The effects of twenty neuroleptic drugs on noise escape behavior were studied in rats trained to interrupt an aversive noise (95 decibels recycling every 20 sac) by jumping, in a shuttle box, from one compartment into the other. All twenty drugs prolonged the latency (T) and reduced the frequency (F

The effects of d-amphetamine, apomorphine and white noise on response switching in the rat were examined using a schedule of reinforcement which resulted in the subjects displaying a range of different probabilities of switching. The procedure was analogous to the use of a fixed interval schedule of
Rats were trained to perform in discrimination learning reinforced by water for 6 days, and were intraperitoneally injected with chlorpromazine, reserpine, or d-amphetamine after each training session. Although chlorpromazineat the dose levels of 0.5 rag/ kg or more injected immediately after traini
Any adequate evaluation of the behavioral effects of a pharmacological compound, particularly where it is assumed to act upon the nervous system, must include consideration of at least three individual factors: (a) the designated activity whereby the effect is to be measured; (b) the dosage function
Striatal tissue concentrations of neurotensin, expression of neurotensin/neuromedin N (NT/N) mRNA, and numbers of neurotensin-immunoreactive neurons are increased by d-amphetamine (amph), which stimulates dopamine release in the striatum, and haloperidol (hal), a dopamine receptor antagonist with hi
