Rats were trained to discriminate the putative serotonin (5-HT) antagonist, pizotifen maleate (BC105), from saline using a two-lever drug discrimination paradigm. Pizotifen maleate (6 mg/kg, 14.6 μmol/kg, IP) or saline was administered 55 min prior to the operant training session. The pizotifen discriminative stimulus (DS) had a rapid onset (less than 7 min) and was of long duration. The pizotifen DS was dose dependent. The pizotifen DS did not generalize to the putative 5-HT antagonists… CONTINUE READING
