Effects of phentermine on responding maintained under multiple fixed-ratio schedules of food and cocaine presentation in the rhesus monkey.
Drugs that decrease drug-maintained responding at doses that do not decrease other behaviors in animals may be suitable candidates for development as medications to treat drug abuse in humans. The present study examined whether this effect could be obtained with phentermine, a drug that has been reported to decrease cocaine intake in humans. Rhesus monkeys were trained under multiple fixed-rati...
متن کاملEffects of pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus lesions on responding for intravenous heroin under different schedules of reinforcement.
The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) is believed to play important roles in reward and learning. We examined the effect of PPTg lesions (0.5 microl of 0.1 M NMDA injected bilaterally over 10 min) on the learning of an operant response for opiate reward. In 14 adult male Long-Evans rats, bilateral lesions of the PPTg disrupted the acquisition of responding for intravenous heroin (0.1 mg...
متن کاملPrenatal methylmercury exposure increases responding under clocked and unclocked fixed interval schedules of reinforcement.
Recent experiments have suggested that developmental methylmercury exposure produces perseverative behavior in adulthood. In the present experiment, interactions between developmental low-level methylmercury (MeHg) and nutritionally relevant dietary selenium (Se) on operant behavior and its persistence were examined in aged animals. Female rats were exposed, in utero, to 0, 0.5, or 5 ppm mercur...
متن کامل60 Hz electric fields and incandescent light as aversive stimuli controlling the behavior of rats responding under concurrent schedules of reinforcement.
Several reports have shown that animals will sometimes engage in behaviors that reduce their exposure to a 60 Hz electric field (E-field). The field, therefore, can function as an aversive stimulus. In other studies, the E-field at equivalent strengths failed to function as an aversive stimulus. The present experiment, using rats, demonstrates how factors other than field strength can influence...
متن کاملEffects of drugs on response duration differentiation. VI: differential effects under differential reinforcement of low rates of responding schedules.
The effects of methamphetamine, phencyclidine and delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol on responding under differential reinforcement of low rate schedules (DRL schedules) were studied under three different DRL time requirements. Under the DRL schedules studied, rats were required to space responses at least a minimum, but not more than a maximum, time interval apart. The time intervals between response...
