The effects of home-cage access to a sweet solution on the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine.

abstract：:Previous experiments showed that acute administration of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, ceronapril, shares with neuroleptic drugs an ability to enhance latent inhibition (LI), which consists of retardation in conditioning to a stimulus as a consequence of its prior non-reinforced pre-exposure. Expe...
