Differential reversal of various dopamine antagonists by anticholinergics in Sidman avoidance: possible relationship to adrenergic blockade.

abstract：RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:The mechanisms underlying relapse to cocaine seeking induced by exposure to priming cocaine injections, cues associated with cocaine self-administration and environmental stressors have been studied in rats. Here we describe a reinstatement method for studying relapse to cocaine seeking in mice...
