Dopamine D1-Like, D2 and D3 Receptor Subtypes in Catalepsy Sensitization and Conditioning in Rats: Implications for Motor Function, Motivation and Learning
The behavioral effects of drugs that act on the brain’s dopamine (DA) system change with repeated exposure to the drug. Antipsychotic drugs, that block DA receptors, produce progressively greater effects on behavior with repeated testing. For example, rats repeatedly treated with a low dose of the …
