Effect of dihydroergosine (DHESN) on the serotoninergic system and behaviour: is DHESN a new antidepressive agent?

abstract：RATIONALE:Intermittent footshock stress effectively reinstates extinguished heroin-, cocaine- and alcohol-taking behaviors, but not behaviors previously maintained by food reinforcers. Here we tested further the generality of the phenomenon of stress-induced reinstatement by determining the effect of footshock on reins...
