A role for the mesolimbic dopamine system in the development of behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants, such as cocaine and amphetamine, is well established. Previous reports have suggested that the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is involved in the initiation of, while
The cellular localization of the cocaine binding sites in primary cultures of embryonic rat mesencephalic cells was previously reported to differ from that observed in adult rat brain. In order to know whether this different localization was associated with a

Cocaine and a cocaine analog, WIN 36,065-2, were administered daily for 3 or 4 days. Both compounds developed sensitization to their locomotor stimulatory effects, with similarly shaped dose-response curves. Dosages giving optimal sensitization were 25 mg/kg per day for cocaine

Cocaine toxicity results in cardiovascular complications, seizures, and death and accounts for approximately 20% of drug-related emergency department visits every year. Presently, there are no treatments to eliminate the toxic effects of cocaine. The present study hypothesizes that a bacterial
