    • Rats were trained to discriminate the stimulus properties of l-5-hydroxytryptophan (l-5-HTP) (30 mg/kg SC), the immediate precursor of serotonin (5-HT). The peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor R04-4602, administered prior to l-5-HTP, greatly attenuated the disruptive effects observed on responding when l-5-HTP alone was injected. Following acquisition, the discrimination was dosedependent and generalized to fenfluramine, a 5-HT-releasing drug, but not to amphetamine, a catecholamine-releasing… CONTINUE READING
