Effects of lorazepam on cardiac vagal tone during rest and mental stress: assessment by means of spectral analysis.

abstract：RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE:Because of the important role of dopamine in neurotransmission, it would be useful to be able to image brain dopamine receptor-mediated signal transduction in animals and humans. Administering the D1-D2 receptor agonist apomorphine may allow us to do this, as the D2-like receptor is reported to ...
