Amphetamine Conditioned Place Preference in Planarians
Methand other amphetamines currently present major drug-abuse concerns. However, the demonstration and study of abuse-related behaviors expressed in animal models is expensive and time-consuming. We previously reported a novel model of conditioned place preference (CPP), which is a standard tool in abuse research, in invertebrates (planarians). In the present study, planarians were tested for l...
متن کاملVMAT2 knockout mice: heterozygotes display reduced amphetamine-conditioned reward, enhanced amphetamine locomotion, and enhanced MPTP toxicity.
The brain vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) pumps monoamine neurotransmitters and Parkinsonism-inducing dopamine neurotoxins such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-phenypyridinium (MPP+) from neuronal cytoplasm into synaptic vesicles, from which amphetamines cause their release. Amphetamines and MPP+ each also act at nonvesicular sites, providing current uncertainties about the contributions of vesicu...
متن کاملConditioned Fear Acquisition and Generalization in Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Abnormal fear conditioning processes (including fear acquisition and conditioned fear-generalization) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of anxiety disorders. Previous research has shown that individuals with panic disorder present enhanced conditioned fear-generalization in comparison to healthy controls. Enhanced conditioned fear-generalization could also characterize generalized anxiet...
متن کاملAmphetamine-induced anxiety-related behavior in animal models.
The purpose of this study was to examine the anxiety-related effects of acute and repeated amphetamine administration using the elevated plus maze (EPM) and light/dark box tests in mice. D-amphetamine (2 mg/kg ip, 30 min after injection) had a significant anxiogenic effect only in the EPM test, as shown by specific decreases in the percentage of time spent in the open arms as well as in the per...
متن کاملEffects of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists in amphetamine-induced conditioned place preference test in rats.
The influence of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) was examined in male Wistar rats. Selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist, CPA, significantly reduced the acquisition of CPP induced by amphetamine. NECA (A2/A1 adenosine receptor agonist) produced similar effect, but selective A2 adenosine receptor agonist CGS 21680, attenuate...
