Effects of d-amphetamine on temporal distributions of schedule-induced polydipsia.

چکیده
Food-deprived rats were divided into four groups according to the equal interval and time durations of a multiple fixed-interval, fixed-time schedule (15, 30, 60, and 120 s). Fixed-time components were signaled by a tone and lever withdrawal. d-Amphetamine (0.25-4.0 mg/kg) produced similar dose-dependent reductions in the drinking and licking induced by fixed-interval and fixed-time schedules. These dose-dependent decrements were a function of the interfood interval length. More licks occurred early in the interfood intervals with doses of d-amphetamine. Dose-dependent shifts to the left were observed in the distribution of licking, and there were dose-dependent decreases in the quarter-life, which were a function of fixed-interval and fixed-time lengths. The maximum lick rate within interfood intervals occurred at about the same absolute time in schedules up to 60 s; therefore, the effects of d-amphetamine were not mediated by its effects on temporal discrimination.

Effects of drugs on the temporal distribution of schedule-induced polydipsia in rats.
Drinking was induced in food-deprived rats by a fixed-time 1-min schedule of food presentation. With three rats, d-amphetamine (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/kg) led to a dose-related increase in licking early in the interfood intervals, the peak of the temporal distribution of licking being shifted to earlier values. These effects were seen even when d-amphetamine had no effect on overall rates o...
متن کاملUnilateral substantia nigra lesions and schedule-induced polydipsia.
The present experiment investigated the effects of unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the substantia nigra (SN) on schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP). Lesions were made in either the "dominant" or "non-dominant" hemisphere as defined by an amphetamine rotation test. It was found that unilateral lesions of either the "dominant" or "non-dominant" SN significantly reduced SIP and also signific...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the only effective pharmacological treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Nonetheless, their generally limited efficacy, side-effects, and delayed onset of action require improved medications for this highly prevalent disorder. Preclinical and clinical findings have suggested serotonin2C (5-HT2C) receptors as a potential drug targ...

Food-deprived rats given constant access to water were exposed to fixed-time presentations of soybean milk and diluted sweetened condensed cows' milk. In some conditions these liquid foods were adulterated with varying amounts of sodium chloride. Under a fixed-time 30-sec schedule of food delivery, little water was consumed when the food was soybean milk alone, or soybean milk with sodium chlor...

Animals that eat and/or drink in response to electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (ESLH-pos) are more responsive to both schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP) tests and a series of amphetamine (AMPH) injections than animals that do not exhibit these behaviors (ESLH-neg). Moreover, prior exposure to the behaviorally activating SIP experience, or to AMPH, permanently transformed the ESL...
