The role of oxytocin-dopamine interactions in cocaine-induced locomotor hyperactivity

Kovàcs, G.L., Sarnyai, Z., Babarczi, E., Szabó, G., Telegdy, G.·1990·Neuropharmacology

Abstract

Cocaine is a widely used drug of abuse. One of the characteristic effects of this stimulant drug in the CNS of mice is the induction of motor hyperactivity. It was demonstrated that cocaine-induced motor hyperactivity could be blocked by pimozide, a dopamine receptor blocker, suggesting that dopamine was involved in cocaine-induced hyperactivity. Oxytocin, a neurohypophyseal neuropeptide, also partially antagonized cocaine-induced motor hyperactivity. Moreover, oxytocin antagonized the increased utilization of dopamine, elicited by cocaine in the nucleus accumbens. The data suggest that oxytocin may influence the behavioural effects of cocaine by affecting dopaminergic neurotransmission in some regions of the brain.

  • Exogenous OT attenuates many immediate behavioral effects of drugs of abuse, including reducing drug consumption, with some effects localized to the NAC.

    “Exogenous OT attenuates many of the immediate behavioral effects of drugs of abuse, including reducing drug consumption, and some of the attenuating effects of OT are localized to the NAC (Kovacs et al 1990; Sarnyai et al 1990; Sarnyai et al 1991; Qi et al 2009; Carson et al 2010a; Baracz et al 2012).”

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.
