Influence of nootropic drugs on drinking behaviour in ethanol-preferring mice and ethanol-induced increase of seizure susceptibility.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of several nootropic drugs (piracetam, pyritinol, meclofenoxat, methylglucamine orotate (MGO) and dihydroergotoxine (DHET) on both the ethanol preference and the enhanced seizure susceptibility after a single dose of ethanol was studied. Piracetam, MGO and DHET reduce the ethanol drinking in ethanol-preferring mice. The enhanced seizure susceptibility after a single dose of ethanol was abolished by piracetam and MGO.

Background and Objective: Ethanol and nicotine increase dopamine release in different parts of the brain such as the nucleus accumbens and the hippocampus. Dopamine D1 receptors have been detected in dorsal hippocampus known as a key brain region that seems to mediate some behavioral effect of ethanol and nicotine. The present study was carried out to determine the influence of dopamine D1 rece...

Repeated use of drugs of abuse induces permanent changes in the brain that together with environmental factors can promote the development of addiction. Addiction to alcohol or drugs is a chronic disease that is characterized by a compulsion to seek and take the drug, loss of control in limiting intake, continued use despite obvious harm, and recurrent relapses. Behavioral animal models of addi...
