Psychostimulant-induced behavioral sensitization depends on nicotinic receptor activation.
Animal studies have shown that nicotine and psychostimulant drugs (amphetamine and cocaine) share the property of inducing long-lasting behavioral and neurochemical sensitization, which is thought to contribute to their addictive properties. Neuroplasticity subserving learning and memory mechanisms is considered to be involved in psychostimulant-induced sensitization and addiction behavior. Bec...
متن کاملThe effect of GABAB receptor activation within the ventral tegmental area on morphine-induced incentive sensitization in female rats
Repeated administration of morphine sensitizes animals to the stimulant and rewarding properties of the drug. It may also alter the expression and function of GABA receptors within the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a midbrain region that is implicated in morphine action. In the present study, the effect of activation of GABAB receptor subtypes within the VTA on morphine-induced incentive sensit...

متن کاملThe impact of a parkinsonian lesion on dynamic striatal dopamine transmission depends on nicotinic receptor activation
Dopamine function is disturbed in Parkinson's disease (PD), but whether and how release of dopamine from surviving neurons is altered has long been debated. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on dopamine axons powerfully govern dopamine release and could be critical contributing factors. We revisited whether fundamental properties of dopamine transmission are changed in a parkinsonian b...
متن کاملPhencyclidine-induced behavioral sensitization.
Chronic administration of a psychomotor stimulant has been shown to produce progressively enhanced effects, a phenomenon called "reverse tolerance" or sensitization. The present study reexamined the effects of the daily injection of phencyclidine on locomotor activity and stereotypy in rats, and investigated whether drug-environment conditioning was necessary for the development of behavioral s...
