Administration of apomorphine and amphetamine induces climbing behavior in mice due to stimulation of brain dopamine receptors. In the present study, the effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced climbing have been investigated. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of amphetamine (2,4 and 8 mglkg) induced climbing in mice (p<O.OOO 1). The u2- ad...

intraperitoneal (ip) injection of bupropion (3,6, amine (4,16 mg kg•&apos;) induced dose-dependent climbing in mice. the climbing response induced by both drugs were decreased in animals pretreated either with the 0-1 antagonist sch 233<)0 or the 0-2 antagonist sulpiride. the α-adrenoceptor blocker phenoxybenzamine decreased the climbing induced by both bupropion and amphetamine, but the β-adre...

Intraperitoneal (IP) injection of bupropion (3,6, amine (4,16 mg kg•') induced dose-dependent climbing in mice. The climbing response induced by both drugs were decreased in animals pretreated either with the 0-1 antagonist SCH 233<)0 or the 0-2 antagonist sulpiride. The α-adrenoceptor blocker phenoxybenzamine decreased the climbing induced by both bupropion and amphetamine, but the β-ad...

objective: pimpinella anisum (p. anisum) has different pharmacological properties such as anticonvulsant, analgesic, tranquilizer, antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects. in this study the antidepressant-like effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of p. anisum fruit in mice was investigated. materials and methods: forced swimming test (fst) and tail suspension test (tst) were used to determi...

BACKGROUND Noni fruit is widely consumed in tropical regions of Indonesia to the Hawaiian Islands. The noni plant has a long history of use as a medicinal plant to treat a wide variety of ailments including CNS disorders. The present investigation was designed to evaluate the antipsychotic effect of noni fruits (Morinda citrifolia Linn.) using mouse models of apomorphine-induced climbing behavi...

Depth perception helps animals interact with a three-dimensional world. A new study presents novel paradigm for studying depth in naturally climbing mice and links their behavior to binocular disparity signals primary visual cortical neurons. We perceive the world around us as three-dimensional, even though projections of objects on retinas our eyes are two-dimensional. How does brain infer fro...

Aphrodisiacs are substances that function as stimulants to increase sexual behavior. Some plants have been studied aphrodisiacs. Based on this background, it is necessary research The aphrodisiac effect of a solution nutmeg (myristica fragrans houtt.) the behavior mice (Mus musculus). This type was qualitative descriptive study consisting five groups, each with three repetitions. There were 30...

Neuroleptic activity of methanolic extract of Benincasa hispida was assessed using apomorphine induced cage climbing model and catalepsy test in mice. Methanolic extract showed significant reduction in apomorphine induced cage climbing activity at 600 mg/kg and catalepsy in mice .The phytochemical analysis of methanolic extract showed presence of phenolic compounds and triterpene saponins, whic...
