Role of the mesoamygdaloid dopamine projection in emotional learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Amygdala dopamine is crucially involved in the acquisition of Pavlovian associations, as measured via conditioned approach to the location of the unconditioned stimulus (US).

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

Baseline-dependent effects of amphetamine on attention are associated with striatal dopamine metabolism

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Psychostimulants, such as amphetamine, are widely used to treat attentional deficits. In humans, response to dopaminergic medications is complex with improvement often dependent on baseline performance.

Genetic variation of the ghrelin signalling system in individuals with amphetamine dependence.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The development of amphetamine dependence largely depends on the effects of amphetamine in the brain reward systems. Ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide, activates the reward systems and is required for reward induced by alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and ...

Female rat hippocampal cell density after conditioned place preference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The hippocampus is important for learning tasks, such as conditioned place preference (CPP), which is widely used as a model for studying the reinforcing effects of drugs with dependence liability.

Psychedelics, entactogens and psychoplastogens for depression and related disorders

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Currently, the most actively investigated rapidly acting antidepressants, anxiolytics and/or anti PTSD agents, include psychedelics e.g. psilocybin, LSD, N,N‐dimethyltryptamine, ayahuasca; non‐hallucinogenic entactogens, e.g. MDMA; psychoplastogens which rapidly promote neuroplasticity, e.g.

Amphetamine Abuse Related Acute Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2016
Amphetamine abuse is a global problem. The cardiotoxic manifestations like acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, or arrhythmia related to misuse of amphetamine and its synthetic derivatives have been documented but are rather rare ...

Inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 5 in the nucleus accumbens enhances the expression of amphetamine-induced locomotor conditioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
When psychostimulant drugs like amphetamine are administered repeatedly in the presence of a contextual stimulus complex, long-lasting associations form between the unconditioned effects of the drug and the contextual stimuli.

Evidence that 5‐HT2A receptor signalling efficacy and not biased agonism differentiates serotonergic psychedelic from non‐psychedelic drugs

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Serotonergic psychedelic drugs are under investigation as therapies for various psychiatric disorders, including major depression. Although serotonergic psychedelic drugs are 5‐HT2A receptor agonists, some such agonists are not psychedelic, potentially due to differences in 5‐HT2A receptor ligand bias or signalling efficacy. Here,

Dysfunctional play and dopamine physiology in the Fischer 344 rat

open access: yes, 2011
Juvenile Fischer 344 rats are known to be less playful than other inbred strains, although the neurobiological substrate(s) responsible for this phenotype is uncertain.
