Monoaminergic psychomotor stimulants: discriminative stimulus effects and dopamine efflux.
The present studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between discriminative stimulus effects of indirectly acting monoaminergic psychostimulants and their ability to increase extracellular levels of dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (NAcb) shell. First, the behavioral effects of methamphetamine (MA), cocaine (COC), 1-[2-[bis(4-fluorophenyl-)methoxy]ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)pi...
متن کاملDiscriminative stimulus effects of morphine in squirrel monkeys: stimulants, opioids, and stimulant-opioid combinations.
Morphine and other mu opioids mimic and/or modulate the discriminative stimulus (DS) effects of cocaine, possibly reflecting mutual stimulation of mesolimbic dopamine activity. Less is known about the capacity of cocaine and related stimulants to modulate the DS effects of morphine. The present study investigated the effects of cocaine, amphetamine, and reference drugs, administered alone and w...
متن کاملEffects of psychomotor stimulants on glutamate receptor expression.
It is increasingly well accepted that addiction can be viewed as a form of neuronal plasticity, even as a type of very powerful, albeit maladaptive, learning. On a behavioral level, this can be conceptualized as the transition from experimentation to compulsive drug-seeking behavior. This view of addiction has been strengthened by many recent studies demonstrating commonalities between mechanis...
متن کاملDiscriminative Stimulus Effects in Monkeys
Products containing naphthalen-1-yl-(1-pentylindol-3-yl) methanone (JWH-018) and naphthalen-1-yl-(1-butylindol-3-yl) methanone (JWH-073) are emerging drugs of abuse. Here, the behavioral effects of JWH-018 and JWH-073 were examined in one behavioral assay selective for cannabinoid agonism, rhesus monkeys (n 4) discriminating -tetrahydrocannabinol ( -THC; 0.1 mg/kg i.v.), and another assay sensi...
متن کاملDopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitors enhance the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine in rats.
Inhibitors of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH), the enzyme that converts dopamine (DA) to norepinephrine (NE) in noradrenergic cells, have shown promise for the treatment of cocaine abuse disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of these compounds have not been fully elucidated. We used the drug discrimination paradigm to determine the impact of DBH inhibitors on the int...
