Grooming elicited by intracerebroventricular bombesin and eledoisim in the mouse
(Elsevier, 1980-01)
The behavioral effects of centrally administered bombesin and eledolsin were investigated in the mouse. Both peptides produced syndromes of compulsive stereotyped grooming. Manipulations known to affect other forms of ...
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder: Evaluation, pathophysiology and treatment
(Elsevier, 1987)

The effects of ethanol, phenobarbital, and baclofen on ethanol withdrawal in the rhesus monkey
(Springer-Verlag, 1980-10)
Physical dependence on ethanol was produced in four rhesus monkeys by IV ethanol administration every 8 h. Ethanol was administered on each occasion until the eyeblink reflex was lost. Evidence of physical dependence ...
Effects of chronic and acute treatment of antipsychotic drugs on calmodulin release from rat striatal membranes
(Elsevier, 1980-03)
Chronic treatment of rats with the antipsychotic drugs haloperidol and (+)-butaclamol results in supersensitivity of striatal dopamine (DA) receptors. Striatal membranes of these animals have an increased content of an ...

(Elsevier, 1981)
1. 1. Adult female outbred cats were prepared with chronic hypothalamic stimulating electrodes and ventricular cannulae.2. 2. Cats were restrained, and patterned aggressive reflexes of elicited head turning, biting, and ...
