Reward system depression following chronic amphetamine: antagonism by haloperidol. 1980

R J Barrett, and D K White

The effect of pre-treatment with haloperidol, a dopamine antagonist, on chronic amphetamine's suppression of intra-cranial self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus was investigated. Rats treated with 15 mg/kg d-amphetamine per day for seven days displayed a marked increase in reward threshold for electrical brain stimulation responding with an accompanying suppression of response rate. This disruption of intracranial self-stimulation responding was not observed when 30 min prior to each amphetamine injection, animals were injected with 1.0 mg/kg of haloperidol. This study demonstrates that post-synaptic mechanisms play an integral role in the development of chronic amphetamine depression, and suggests that changes at the dopamine receptor are involved in this reward system alteration.

D006220 Haloperidol A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279) Haldol
D000661 Amphetamine A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.

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
