The effects of drugs on the processes regulating the functional activity of brain monoamines.

Abstract:

:1. By study of the synthesis and turnover of brain monoamines and with the use of behavioral models which indicate the functional activity of brain 5HT and dopamine, it is possible to unravel the mechanisms by which some drugs produce behavioral effects. 2. Using these techniques the acute and chronic effects of certain neuroleptics, propranolol and other beta-adrenergic blocking agents, repeated electroconvulsive shock, and lithium upon the functional activity of brain 5HT and dopamine are examined. 3. The clinical relevance of these studies is discussed.

  • The future of communication in psychopharmacotherapy.

    abstract::1. Communication among scientists of similar professional interest is an often neglected but critical factor in medical research and practice. 2. Dissemination of information is vital for keeping abreast of one's field, for planning studies and treatment regimens, and for avoiding unnecessary research. 3. Today's comm...

  • The role of plasma concentrations in the use of tricyclic antidepressant drugs.

    abstract::1. The range of tricyclic antidepressant plasma levels (or doses) needed for therapeutic response remains largely unresolved, since quantal plasma concentration (or dose)--response relationships have not been clearly defined for either therapeutic or nontherapeutic effects. 2. The fact that certain patients apparently...

  • AHR-6646: a new, long-acting neuroleptic.

    abstract::1. AHR-6646 blocked d-amphetamine lethality in mice under aggregated conditions when the pretreatment interval was between one hour and seven days. 2. Conditioned avoidance responding in mice and cats was suppressed by AHR-6646 in doses that did not impair escape behavior. The duration of this effect was markedly prol...

    abstract::1. The effects of apomorphine and sodium Di-n-propylacetate (DPA, sodium valproate) on pain-induced aggressive behavior were investigated in three inbred strains of mice: BALB/c, C57B1/6 and DBA/2, which exhibited spontaneously low levels of aggression. 2. Apomorphine elicited aggressive behavior in the three strains,...
