Serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT(2C)R) agonists administered systemically attenuate both cocaine-primed and cue-elicited reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior. To further elucidate the function of these receptors in addiction-like processes, this study examined the effects of microinfusing the 5-HT(2C)R agonist MK212 (0

The extinction/reinstatement model has been used in this study to examine the role of 5-HT2C receptors in cocaine-seeking behavior elicited by cocaine-associated cues and cocaine-priming injections. Rats that had been trained to press a lever for cocaine (0.75 mg/kg/0.1 ml

Although 5-HT2 receptors seem to play an important role in anxiety, results from numerous studies are still highly variable. Moreover, little is known about the behavioral effects of centrally administered 5-HT2 compounds in animal models of anxiety. The current study

A single exposure to the elevated plus-maze test (EPM) increases open arms avoidance and reduces or abolishes the anxiolytic-like effect of benzodiazepines assessed during a second trial, a phenomenon defined as "one-trial tolerance" (OTT). It has been emphasized that the

Serotonin(2C) (5-HT(2C)) receptors have been implicated to treat mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. In the present study, the capacities of two 5-HT(2C) agonists, MK212 and mCPP, to produce conditioned taste aversions in mice were evaluated. On two training
