psychomotor stimulants that develops during their repeated administration and persists even …

Excitatory amino acids and drugs of abuse: a role for N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in drug tolerance, sensitization and physical dependence

KA Trujillo, H Akil - Drug and alcohol dependence, 1995 - Elsevier
N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have been implicated in several types of neural and
behavioral plasticity ranging from development to learning. The present paper reviews …

Coadministration of MK-801 with amphetamine, cocaine or morphine prevents rather than transiently masks the development of behavioral sensitization

ME Wolf, M Jeziorski - Brain research, 1993 - Elsevier
Although coadministration ofN-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists has been reported to
prevent behavioral sensitization to psychomotor stimulants, it has been suggested that this …

Interactions between dopamine and excitatory amino acids in behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants

PW Kalivas - Drug and alcohol dependence, 1995 - Elsevier
Mesoaccumbens dopamine transmission at least partly mediates the initiation and
expression of behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants. The initiation arises from an …

Long-term potentiation at excitatory amino acid synapses on midbrain dopamine neurons

PG Overton, CD Richards, MS Berry, D Clark - Neuroreport, 1999 - journals.lww.com
Evidence suggests that a process analogous to long-term potentiation (LTP) may underlie
the enhanced behavioural responses attending chronic administration of amphetamine and …

Effects of lesions of prefrontal cortex, amygdala, or fornix on behavioral sensitization to amphetamine: comparison with N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists

ME Wolf, SL Dahlin, XT Hu, CJ Xue, K White - Neuroscience, 1995 - Elsevier

order to identify specific functional changes associated with behavioral sensitization to …

Repeated administration of MK-801 produces sensitization to its own locomotor stimulant effects but blocks sensitization to amphetamine

ME Wolf, MR Khansa - Brain research, 1991 - Elsevier
Repeated amphetamine administration produced behavioral sensitization to subsequent
amphetamine challenge. The development of sensitization was blocked by coadministration …
