Effects of benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, flumazenil, on antinociceptive and behavioural responses to the elevated plus-maze in mice.

abstract：:Current antipsychotic drugs (APDs) act on D2 receptors, and preclinical studies demonstrate that repeated D2 antagonist administration downregulates spontaneously active DA neurons by producing overexcitation-induced inactivation of firing (depolarization block). Animal models of schizophrenia based on the gestational...
