    Notes: Abstract The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possible generalization to 3-carboxysalsolinol (3C-SAL) in a group of rats trained to discriminate a low dose of ethanol (200 mg/kg IP) from the nondrug condition and in another group trained to discriminate 0.16 mg/kg IP apomorphine (AP) from the nondrug condition using a drug discrimination paradigm. In test sessions, ED50 for ethanol was 52.0 mg/kg and ED50 for AP was 0.01 mg/kg. In the ethanol-trained rats, 1.8 mg/kg 3C-SAL produced drug responses. In the AP-trained rats, 200 mg/kg ethanol produced drug responses whereas 1.8 mg/kg 3C-SAL produced only a partial drug response. The results are in harmony with the hypothesis that salsolinol in the central nervous system of the rat may be responsible for the discriminability of ethanol. The possible involvement of dopaminergic systems is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Rats were trained to make a specific behavioral response in a T-maze apparatus conditional upon whether they were injected with 0.4 mg/kg nicotine or saline. Depletion of brain levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine by orally administered para-chlorophenylalanine had no significant effect on the rats' ability to discriminate nicotine. However, both insoluble alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine and its ester, at intraperitoneal doses of 90 and 135 mg/kg, respectively, significantly decreased discrimination of nicotine at 180 and 270 min post-administration. At these doses and times, saline discrimination was not altered. The experimental evidence indicates that nicotine's CNS cueing effect is mediated by norepinephrine, and this is discussed in light of the Burn and Rand hypothesis. It is proposed that, nicotine may act on a specific nicotine-sensitive cholinergic receptor in the CNS, which causes release of norepinephrine which, in turn, produces the interoceptive cueing effect that enables the rats to make the appropriate behavioral response.

    Notes: Abstract Rats were trained to enter one arm of a T-maze after the subcutaneous administration of 0.4 mg/kg and to enter the opposite arm following the injection of an equal volume of saline. Administration of 0.4 mg/kg nicotine isomethonium iodide hydroiodide, 0.4–10.0 mg/kg lobeline sulfate, 2.0 and 4.0 mg/kg d-amphetamine sulfate and 0.25–2.0 mg/kg arecoline hydrobromide produced responses which resembled the established saline effect. Pretreatment with 10.0 mg/kg lobeline had no significant effect on the nicotine-cued response. The inability of these structurally and/or functionally similar drugs to produce a nicotine-like discriminative effect is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Reliable aggression was seen in rats which were grouped 30 days after undergoing continuous withdrawal from morphine. This withdrawal aggression, associated with long-lasting effects of morphine dependence, was blocked by morphine or lesions of the nigrostriatal bundle, but not by lesions of the median forebrain bundle. When the nigrostriatal lesioned rats were treated with a small dose of apomorphine, the aggression was reinstated. Apomorphine reduced the turnover of dopamine in the 30-day withdrawn rats at doses which were ineffective in similarly housed non-dependent rats. These results suggest that animals undergoing protracted morphine abstinence show aggression due to a latent dopaminergic supersensitivity, similar to that previously reported during acute narcotic withdrawal.

    Dopaminergic mediation of the interoceptive cue produced by d-amphetamine in rats (1975)

    Notes: Abstract After rats were trained to differentiate between the effects of d-amphetamine and saline in a state-dependent task, pretreatment with the tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, α-methyl-p-tyrosine, significantly decreased amphetamine discrimination. Pretreatment with the dopamine-Β-hydroxylase inhibitor, disulfiram, or with the tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor, p-chloro-phenylalanine, was observed to have no effect on the rats' ability to discriminate d-amphetamine. Administration of haloperidol, a selective dopamine receptor blocker, completely abolished the amphetamine discrimination, whereas α- and Β-adrenergic receptor blockade had no effect. Apomorphine, a dopamine receptor stimulant, produced amphetamine-like responses and this was, likewise, abolished by pretreatment with haloperidol. These data suggest that dopaminergic systems mediate the interoceptive cue produced by d-amphetamine in rats, and these results are discussed in relation to possible dopamine mediation of amphetamine psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia.

    Kinetic mode switch of rat brain IIA Na channels in Xenopus oocytes excised macropatches (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Na currents recorded from inside-out macropatches excised from Xenopus oocytes expressing the α subunit of the rat brain Na channel IIA show at least two distinguishable components in their inactivation time course, with time constants differing about tenfold (τ h1 = approx. 150 μs and τ h2 = approx. 2 ms). In excised patches, the inactivation properties of Na currents changed with time, favoring the faster inactivation kinetics. Analysis of the fast and slow current kinetics shows that only the relative magnitudes of τ h1 and τ h2 components are altered without significant changes in the time constants of activation or inactivation. In addition, voltage dependence of both activation and steady-state inactivation of Na currents are shifted to more negative potentials in patches with predominantly fast inactivation, although reversal potentials and valences remained unaltered. We conclude that the two inactivation modes discerned in this study are conferred by two states of Na channel the interconversion of which are regulated by an as yet unknown mechanism that seems to involve cytosolic factors.

    Point mutations in IIS4 alter activation and inactivation of rat brain IIA Na channels in Xenopus oocyte macropatches (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Macroscopic currents of wild-type rat brain IIA (RBIIA) and mutant Na channels were recorded in excised patches from Xenopus oocytes. A charge deletion (K859Q) and an adjacent conservative mutation (L860F) in the second domain S4 membrane-spanning region differentially altered voltage sensitivity and kinetics. Analysis of voltage dependence was confined to Na currents with fast inactivation kinetics, although RBIIA and K859Q (but not L860F) also showed proportional shifts between at least two gating modes, rendering currents with fast or slow inactivation kinetics, respectively. Compared to RBIIA, the midpoint of the activation curve was shifted in both K859Q and L860F by 22 mV to more positive potentials, yet this shift was not associated with a corresponding change in the voltage dependence of time constants for activation (τ a) or inactivation (τ h1, τ h2). L860F showed faster activation time constants τ a than RBIIA, while K859Q was slower for both the activation (τ a) and the inactivation components (τ h1). Similarly, the steady-state inactivation curve of L860F but not K859Q shifted by 9 mV in the hyperpolarizing direction. Thus, the fourth charge in the IIS4 transmembrane segment exerts control over voltage sensitivity and kinetics of activation and may interact with structure that influence other aspects of channel gating.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes an electronic device for the measurement of the diameter of the tip opening of micropipettes. The device measures the threshold pressure required to produce bubbles from the micropipette submerged in a liquid and displays the tip inner diameter in micrometres. We demonstrate that this technique can be used effectively in a range of liquids of different density, surface tension and viscosity and that the thickness of the glass from which the micropipettes are made does not influence the measurements.

    Notes: Abstract Rats were trained to choose between the side compartments of a three-chambered shock-escape apparatus according to whether they were injected with nicotine or saline. Half of the rats learned to discriminate between 0.4 mg/kg nicotine and saline administered subcutaneously, whereas the other half learned to differentiate between 644 ng nicotine or saline administered intraventricularly. The rats trained by the subcutaneous route of administration had the ability to discriminate between nicotine and saline given intraventricularly and the rats trained by the intraventricular route could differentiate when the two substances were injected subcutaneously. This transfer of state-dependent control of discriminative behaviour between subcutaneously and intraventricularly administered nicotine and saline is presented as evidence for the central origin of the nicotine-produced interoceptive cue.

    Notes: Abstract Aggression, which is normally seen during withdrawal from narcotics, could not be produced in morphine-dependent rats by the administration of naloxone at doses which cause other signs of withdrawal. Apomorphine injected instead of naloxone was capable of producing aggression, without other withdrawal signs. Naturally occurring aggression (72-hr withdrawal) was enhanced by apomorphine and unaffected by naloxone.
