Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Cocaine tolerance can alter its behavioral effects.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for addiction research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the pharmacological mechanisms of cocaine tolerance.
  • To assess cross-tolerance to various dopaminergic drugs.

Main Methods:

  • Rats were trained on a fixed-ratio schedule for food reinforcement.
  • Cocaine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered daily to induce tolerance.
  • Dose-effect curves and receptor binding assays were performed.

Main Results:

  • Cocaine treatment produced a modest rightward shift in its dose-effect curve.
  • Cross-tolerance was observed with WIN 35,428 but not GBR 12909.
  • No significant changes in dopamine, serotonin, or norepinephrine receptor binding were found.

Conclusions:

  • Cocaine tolerance does not induce significant functional or metabolic changes in dopaminergic systems.
  • Differences in mechanisms exist among dopamine uptake inhibitors.
