A recent experiment (Risinger et al., Psychopharmacology, 107 (1992) 453–456) has shown
that haloperidol does not prevent acquisition of ethanol-induced conditioned place …

The internal clock is a putative mental structure whose function is to scale the temporal
attributes of events. The entire timing process involves fairly low-level sensory specific …

On the basis of previously reported observations that haloperidol induces within-session
decrements in operant response rate in rats, it was suspected that other measures of …

Unilateral ablations of frontal cortex, rostral striatum, nucleus accumbens, septal area and
olfactory tubercle decreased ipsilateral hypothalamic self-stimulation; the same ablations …

The functional role of dopamine has attracted a great deal of interest ever since it was
empirically discovered that dopamine-blocking drugs could be used to treat psychosis …

Parkinsonian behavioral deficits are reduced in the presence of strong eliciting stimuli and
are most pronounced when the response requires internal generation. In the present study …

Neuroleptic drugs disrupt the learning and performance of operant habits motivated by a
variety of positive reinforcers, including food, water, brain stimulation, intravenous opiates …

This study evaluated the effects of chlorpromazine and pimozide on reinforced responding.
In each session, rats were exposed to a series of five variable-interval reinforcement …

Research on the neural function of catecholamines spans all levels of active investigation
from the molecular to the behavioral. In this chapter we consider the behavioral actions of …

To assess the possibility of dissociating drug-induced gross performance deficits from effects
on brain stimulation reward, the nose-poke and bar-press operants were systematically …
