The effects of the beta-carboline FG 7142, on intracranial self-stimulation in the rat. 1984

S Pellow, and L J Herberg, and S E File

The effects of FG 7142 were examined, alone and in combination with chlordiazepoxide, on self-stimulation of the mid-lateral hypothalamus. Rewarding stimuli were delivered according to a 10-sec variable-interval schedule of reinforcement. FG 7142 (1-20 mg/kg) produced a dose-related depression in responding, and chlordiazepoxide (5 mg/kg) enhanced it. When these two drugs were given together, response rates did not differ significantly from control rates.

D012653	Self Stimulation	The act or process of inducing or increasing the level of arousal in oneself. It can be observed in various situations; for example, infants who are understimulated may explore their surroundings or babble to themselves.(https://dictionary.apa.org/self-stimulation accessed 12/30/2020)	ICSS Intracranial Self-Stimulation,Intracranial Self Stimulation,Self-Stimulation,Intracranial Self Stimulations,Self Stimulation, Intracranial,Self Stimulations,Self Stimulations, Intracranial,Self-Stimulations,Stimulation, Self,Stimulations, Self
