Prepulse-elicited startle in prepulse inhibition.
BACKGROUND Prepulse inhibition (PPI) has become a major experimental paradigm in the study of psychiatric disorders. In this study, a potential confound in measurement and interpretation of PPI, namely startle reactions to so-called "nonstartling" prepulses, was examined. METHODS Prepulses of 80, 85, and 90 dB(A) were presented on their own or followed by a pulse of 115 dB(A) (lead interval: ...

متن کاملCocaine addiction: psychology and neurophysiology.
Cocaine was considered incapable of producing dependence in 1980 but was recently proclaimed the drug of greatest national health concern. Recent clinical and preclinical investigations demonstrate that cocaine produces unique abuse and withdrawal patterns that differ from those of other major abused drugs and suggest that long-term cocaine abuse produces neurophysiological alterations in speci...
متن کاملGlutamate systems in cocaine addiction.
All addictive drugs facilitate dopamine transmission, and determining the role of dopamine has been the predominant focus of biomedical research in addiction for 20 years. Newer data and hypotheses have begun to shift our focus to involvement of cortex and corticofugal glutamate projections. The rationale for shifting focus to glutamate ranges from evidence showing that cortical activity is alt...
متن کاملPerspectives in Pharmacology Stress and Cocaine Addiction
The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is involved in all aspects of cocaine self-administration. Corticosterone seems to be crucial for the acquisition of drug use since self-administration does not occur unless this stress hormone is increased above a critical reward threshold. Increasing circulating levels of corticosterone also augments sensitivity to low doses of cocaine, possibly fr...
