- 1From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Depression is associated with medical comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease. However, mechanisms linking depression and cardiovascular disease remain unclear. Objectives This study investigated...
- 2From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Sazetidine-A is a selective [alpha]4[beta]2 nicotinic receptor desensitizing agent and partial agonist. It has been shown in previous studies to significantly reduce nicotine self-administration in rats after...
- 3From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Cocaine addiction is associated with high rates of relapse, and stress has been identified as a major risk factor. We have previously demonstrated that acupuncture reduces drug self-administration and dopamine...
- 4From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Although widely prescribed to treat opioid addiction, little is known about the possible side effects of methadone on memory functions. Objectives The aim of this study is to compare the effects of acute...
- 5From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Anhedonia--diminished capacity to experience pleasure--is associated with tobacco dependence and smoking cessation failure. However, the mechanisms linking anhedonia and smoking are unclear. Objectives This...
- 6From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) increases sociability. The prosocial effects of MDMA may result from the release of the "social hormone" oxytocin and associated alterations in the processing...
- 7From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRational Inhibition of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) improves cognitive functions in hypertensive patients. However, role of AT1 and AT2 receptors in memory impairment due to cholinergic hypofunction is unexplored....
- 8From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Understanding the neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying dysregulated cocaine intake is important for the development of new cocaine abuse therapies. Objectives The current study determined if cocaine...
- 9From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Stress, a powerful precipitant of drug seeking during abstinence, may also accelerate the return to pathological patterns of intake after initial instances of drug reuse. Objective To explore the effect of...
- 10From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Coffee is often consumed to counteract driver sleepiness. There is limited information on the effects of a single low dose of coffee on prolonged highway driving in non-sleep deprived individuals....
- 11From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedObjective Several lines of evidence suggest that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in activity-dependent neuroplasticity underlying learning and memory in the hippocampus. Schizophrenia has...
- 12From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale The catecholamine innervation of the prefrontal cortex controls attentional focus and inhibits inappropriate behavioral responses. The mechanism of action with which norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitors...
- 13From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Addiction is a disease of learning and memory, as learning processes underlying acquisition, extinction, and reinstatement of drug-paired associations play central roles in addiction. Early developmental...
- 14From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Low-dose acute tryptophan depletion (LD-ATD), while having no effect on mood, has been shown to reduce specificity of autobiographical memory in patients who have recovered from a depressive episode....
- 15From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Ro 64-6198, the prototypical non-peptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptor agonist, has potent anxiolytic-like effects in several preclinical models and species. However the effects of Ro 64-6198...
- 16From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale Research indicates that genetics influence methamphetamine self-administration as well as sensitization to the psychomotor-stimulating effects of methamphetamine (MA). Other studies have suggested that...
- 17From: Psychopharmacology. (Vol. 222, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRationale A between-session progressive ratio (BtwPR) procedure was tested in rats responding for cocaine and water reinforcers. Objectives Experiment 1 evaluated the sensitivity of the BtwPR procedure to the...
