Injection of SCH 23390 into the ventral tegmental area blocks the development of neurochemical but not behavioral sensitization to cocaine.

abstract：:In the present study, we focused on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling through the γ-aminobutyric acid transporter (GAT) in the developing rat cerebral cortex. Tiagabine was used as a GAT inhibitor. The offspring received injections from birth until postnatal day 21 intraperitoneally. Physical development and neurol...
