Effects of tobacco smoking on the topographic EEG I
(Elsevier, 1994-09)
1. 1. The EEG and cardiovascular effects of smoking tobacco cigarettes of varying nicotine content were studied in Japanese chronic tobacco smokers.2. 2. Thirteen female and fifteen male adult normal volunteers were recruited ...
Dexamethasone attenuation of the cortisol response to nicotine in smokers
(Springer-Verlag, 1990-06)
The effect of corticosteroids upon the cortisol response to nicotine from smoking was investigated in five heavy smokers. Corticosteroid activity was manipulated by administering dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocortoicoid ...
Differential effects of pentobarbital, ethyl alcohol, and chlorpromazine in modifying reticular facilitation of visually evoked responses in the cat
(Elsevier, 1969-01)
Cortical visually evoked responses (VER) elicited by electrical stimulation of the ipsilateral optic tract were dramatically facilitated by stimulation of the midbrain reticular formation. This facilitation depended on the ...
Some effects of muscarinic cholinergic blocking drugs on behavior and the electrocorticogram
(Springer-Verlag, 1964-03)
Results are presented for the effects of drugs with muscarinic cholinergic blocking actions, both central and peripheral (scopolamine and 1-hyoscyamine) and primarily peripheral (methyl atropine and methyl scopolamine), ...
Antagonism of the discriminative effects of ethylketazocine, cyclazocine, and nalorphine in macaques
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-09)
dl -Ethylketazocine (EKC, 0.01 mg/kg) and saline were established as discriminative stimuli for food-maintained responding in macaque monkeys. Thirty consecutive presses on a right or left lever were reinforced with food, ...
Escape from dexamethasone suppression: Possible role of an impaired inhibitory opioid mechanism
(Elsevier, 1983)
1. 1. Several lines of evidence indicate that the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in depression is disinhibited.2. 2. Escape from dexamethasone suppression, although not limited to is more frequent ...
Separation of the convulsions and antidepressant-like effects produced by the delta-opioid agonist SNC80 in rats
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-11)
Delta-opioid agonists produce a number of behavioral effects, including convulsions, antinociception, locomotor stimulation, and antidepressant-like effects. The development of these compounds as treatments for depression ...
Effects of neuropeptide Y, insulin, 2-deoxyglucose, and food deprivation on food-motivated behavior
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-08)
The current study demonstrates the ability of neuropeptide Y (NPY) to increase break points under a progressive ratio 1 (PR1) reinforcement schedule. An initial response resulted in delivery of a food reinforcer (45 mg ...
Levels and distribution of central nervous system amines in normal and morphine-dependent monkeys
(Elsevier, 1972-03)
The distribution of norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in various areas of the CNS of the normal monkey has been presented.The central levels and distribution of norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine ...
Glucocorticoid-reinforced responding in the rhesus monkey
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1999-11)
Rationale: Glucocorticoids have been reported to have rewarding effects in rats and may lead to drug-seeking behavior in humans under some circumstances. Objectives: The present study investigated whether glucocorticoids ...
