Evidence for cell loss in corpus striatum after long-term treatment with a neuroleptic drug (flupenithixol) in rats.

abstract：:Behavioral performances of normotensive and hypertensive adult male baboons were tested before, during, and following chronic oral dosing with nifedipine. Performances during a five-color simultaneous match-to-sample task were measured during three dosing schedules (0.20, 0.68, and 1.14 mg/kg/day) and vehicle. Each do...
