Open-field behavior after intravenous amphetamine analogues in rats.

abstract：RATIONALE:Neurobiological models of addiction suggest that abnormalities of brain reward circuitry distort salience attribution and inhibitory control processes, which in turn contribute to high relapse rates. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study is to determine whether impairments of salience attribution and inhibitory c...
