    • The effect of the D2-antagonist raclopride was investigated in two test situations, which are presumed to involve dopamine (DA) transmission within the nucleus accumbens of the rat. Local injection of d-amphetamine sulphate (10 μg/0.5 μl) produced a marked increase in motor activity, measured as motility, locomotion, and rearing, which was dose- and time-dependently antagonised by local injection of raclopride (0.05–5.0 μg/0.5 μl). After an initial decrease, at low doses (0.05–0.25 μg/0.5 μl… CONTINUE READING
