Discriminative stimulus properties of the atypical antidepressant, mirtazapine, in rats: a pharmacological characterization.

abstract：:Selectively bred FAST mice are highly susceptible, while SLOW mice are less susceptible, to the locomotor stimulant effects of ethanol. Heritability estimates indicate that approximately 15% of the variance in the FAST lines is of additive genetic origin, while low susceptibility is ostensibly nonheritable. Inbreeding...
