Inhibition of d-amphetamine-induced locomotor activity by injection of haloperidol into the nucleus accumbens of the rat

Abstract

The effect of intracerebral administraton of antagonists of dopamine and noradrenaline upon the locomotor stimulation induced by intraperitoneal injection of d-amphetamine sulfate in rats was investigated. Inj ection of low doses of the dopamine antagonist haloperidol (2.5 mug and 5 mug) bilaterally into the nucleus accumbens antagonized the locomotor stimulation following d-amphetamine. No significant inhibition was observed following administration of the alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine or thhe beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol into the nucleus accumbens. Injection of the dame doses of haloperidol into the caudate nucleus did not inhibit the d-amphetamine induced locomotor activity in contrast to the effects seen following injection into the nucleus accumbens. The results confirm the significance of dopaminergic mechanisms for the locomotor stimulant effect of d-amphetamine and indicate that the mesolimbic dopamine system plays an important role in this respect.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Both novelty-induced locomotor activity and the hyperactivity evoked by amphetamine depend on nucleus accumbens dopamine neurotransmission.

    “Given that both novelty-induced locomotor activity (Hooks and Kalivas 1994) and the hyperactivity evoked by amphetamine depend on nucleus accumbens dopamine neurotransmission (Creese and Iversen 1975; Pijnenburg et al. 1975)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
