Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent rats find repeated Delta(9)-THC less aversive than adult rats but display greater residual cognitive deficits and changes in hippocampal protein expression following exposure.

TL;DR: It is suggested that adolescent rats find repeated Δ9-THC exposure less aversive than adults, but that cannabinoid exposure causes greater lasting memory deficits and hippocampal alterations in adolescent than adult rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for oxytocin and 5-HT1A receptors in the prosocial effects of 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“ecstasy”)
TL;DR: Results suggest that oxytocin release, stimulated by MDMA through 5-HT(1A) receptors, may play a key role in the prosocial effects of MDMA and underlie some of the reinforcing effects of the drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic fluoxetine treatment partly attenuates the long-term anxiety and depressive symptoms induced by MDMA ('Ecstasy') in rats.
Murray R. Thompson,Kong M. Li,Kelly J. Clemens,Clint G. Gurtman,Glenn E. Hunt,Jennifer L. Cornish,Iain S. McGregor +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that fluoxetine may provide a treatment option for some of the deleterious long-term effects resulting from MDMA exposure, and suggest that chronic treatment with the antidepressant drug fluoxettine could reverse such effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat increases 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine self-administration and social effects in rats.
Jennifer L. Cornish,Zeeshan Shahnawaz,Murray R. Thompson,Suzanna Wong,Kirsten C. Morley,Glenn E. Hunt,Iain S. McGregor +6 more
TL;DR: In rats tested in the social interaction paradigm, greater prosocial effects of MDMA were seen at a hot temperature (30 degrees C) relative to normal laboratory temperature (21 degrees C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid quantitation of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in serum by micro-disc solid-phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet absorbance detection.
TL;DR: The method described was used to analyse serum samples obtained from rats given chronic FLX treatment and to examine the relationship between steady state serum drug concentrations and neurochemical changes in several brain regions.
