Journal ArticleDOI
Mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone) supports intravenous self-administration in Sprague-Dawley and Wistar rats.
Shawn M. Aarde,Deepshikha Angrish,Deborah Barlow,M. Jerry Wright,Sophia A. Vandewater,Kevin M. Creehan,Karen L. Houseknecht,Tobin J. Dickerson,Michael A. Taffe +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of stimulant‐typical abuse liability for 4‐MMC in the traditional pre‐clinical self‐administration model and the number of responses and/or the total amount of drug self-administered varied as a function of dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of ambient temperature on the thermoregulatory and locomotor stimulant effects of 4-methylmethcathinone in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats.
M. Jerry Wright,Deepshikha Angrish,Shawn M. Aarde,Deborah Barlow,Matthew W. Buczynski,Kevin M. Creehan,Sophia A. Vandewater,Loren H. Parsons,Karen L. Houseknecht,Tobin J. Dickerson,Michael A. Taffe +10 more
TL;DR: Results show that the cathinone analog 4-MMC exhibits thermoregulatory and locomotor properties that are distinct from those established for methamphetamine or MDMA in prior work, despite recent evidence of neuropharmacological similarity with MDMA.
Journal ArticleDOI
A methamphetamine vaccine attenuates methamphetamine-induced disruptions in thermoregulation and activity in rats.
Michelle L. Miller,Amira Y. Moreno,Shawn M. Aarde,Kevin M. Creehan,Sophia A. Vandewater,Brittani D. Vaillancourt,M. Jerry Wright,Kim D. Janda,Michael A. Taffe +8 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that active immunopharmacotherapy provides functional protection against physiological and behavioral disruptions induced by METH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cannabidiol attenuates deficits of visuospatial associative memory induced by Δ9tetrahydrocannabinol
TL;DR: Recent human studies suggest that recreational cannabis strains that are relatively high in cannabidiol (CBD) content produce less cognitive impairment than do strains with negligible CBD and similar Δ9tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute Ethanol Reduces Reversal Cost in Discrimination Learning by Reducing Perseverance in Adolescent Rhesus Macaques
TL;DR: The temporal relationship between EtOH consumption and reversal learning was consistent with selective EtOH-induced impairment of retrieval, but not storage, processes, as evidenced by diminished perseverance on the previously correct stimulus leading to decreased errors to criterion.
