Journal ArticleDOI
Striatal dopamine receptors become supersensitive while rats are given trifluoperazine for six months
TL;DR: The initial behavioural and biochemical evidence for striatal DA receptor blockade by trifluoperazine disappears within a few weeks of starting therapy, to be replaced by supersensitivity after 6 months of drug administration, despite continued drug intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of nighttime low frequency noise on the cortisol response to awakening and subjective sleep quality
TL;DR: It is shown that night time exposure to LFN may affect the cortisol response upon wake up and that lower cortisol levels after awakening were associated with subjective reports of lower sleep quality and mood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral dopamine function in rats following withdrawal from one year of continuous neuroleptic administration
TL;DR: The behavioural and biochemical components of the supersensitivity show variable time courses and in particular the enhanced stimulation of striatal adenylate cyclase persists for at least 6 months and may be of relevance to tardive dyskinesias in man.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of dawn simulation on the cortisol response to awakening in healthy participants.
TL;DR: Supportive evidence is provided for the role of light and the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the awakening cortisol response and there was a trend for an association between increased arousal and increased cortisol secretory activity under dawn simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a single case study design to examine state variation in the cortisol awakening response: relationship with time of awakening.
TL;DR: The findings provide a preliminary indication for an inverse association between alcohol consumption on the evening before a sampling day and the dynamic of the AUC(I), while no associations between sleep quality, post-awakening motility levels, and mode of awakening and measures of the CAR were found.
