The amphetamine sensitization model of schizophrenia: relevance beyond psychotic symptoms?

abstract：:The intensity of the head-twitch response and the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) syndrome (tremor, fore-paw treading, head-weaving and hind-limb abduction) was measured in male CFLP mice following IP injection of 5 mg/kg 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT). The results of separate experiments carried out at 1.5-h ...
