Potentiation by alpha-methyltyrosine of the suppression of food-reinforced lever-pressing behaviour induced by antipsychotic drugs.

S Ahlenius, J Engel.   

Abstract

The mode of action whereby alpha-methyltyrosine (alpha-MT) potentiates the behavioural effects induced by catecholamine receptor blocking antipsychotic drugs was investigated in rats trained to lever-press for food on a fixed-ratio 40 schedule of reinforcement. It was found that alpha-MT (20 mg/kg intraperitoneally - 4 hrs potentiates the effects induced by pimace, causing an alteration of the neuronal function.
