Q

8 Arm Radial Maze Task

A

8 arms, food is placed at the end of 4 arms but not the other 4. If the rat returns to the baited arm after it already ate the food, its a working memory error. If it goes to a non baited arm, its a reference memory error(forgot general rules).
results: animals given THC are slower to learn the task

A

Chew yellow root of plant
contains: ibotenic acid
if enough pills were taken, childhood memories would be unlocked

34
Q

Atropa Belladonna

plant grew were hanged man's semen fell 
low dose: depressant, hypnotic drug
high dose: hallucinations, delirium
38
Q

A 
drugs with neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) that produce hallucinogens.
LSD
Lysergic acid
Psilocybin(shrooms)
DMT
Bufotenine (5-DMT)
5-MeO-DIPT (foxy)
39
Q

LSD

A

hoffman ingested a dose of 250 micrograms, “famous trip”.
used in therapies because it made people more open.
odourless, tasteless, colorless, readily absorbed, can cross BBB and placenta.

dose: 15mg for hallucinations
psilocybin is converted to psilocin

44
Q

DMT

A

aka “business man psychedelic”
found in plants.
reddish bark used as snuff.
effects: excitation, numbness, hallucinations
duration: 1 hour
administration: can be taken as a drink but ineffective because its easily metabolized by monoamine oxidase
usually smoked or inhaled

45
Q

Bufotenine (5-DMT)

found in: plants, fish, toads
ppl use to lick toads to ingest it
side effects: skin turns purple
similar to DMT

46
Q

5-MeO-DIPT(foxy)

A

“fake ecstasy”

3-6 hour during

47
Q

Self administration and CPP in serotonergic drugs

A

no self administration

yes CPP

48
Q

Noradrenergic (Norepinephrine and methylated amphetamines) Hallucinogens definition and drug names

A 
modification of amphetamines(adding methyl group) which resembles norepinephrine therefore the drugs have stimulant and hallucinogenic properties.
Mescaline
STP
MDA
MDMA
Myristicin and elemincin
49
Q

Mescaline

A 
norepinephrine type hallucinogens.
found in: cactus
dose: 3mg/kg stimulant effects
dose: 5mg/kg hallucinations
effects: weightless,alterations in time
side effects: nausea, vomit
tolerance occurs
50
Q

STP

A

serenity, tranquility, peace
produces euphoria effects at 3-5mg/kg, 10mg-hallucinations
bad trips

51
Q

MDA

A

aka “eve”
metabolite of MDMA
dose: 80-160mg, lasts up to 10 hours
enhances emotions

52
Q

MDMA

A

use to be an appetite suppressant
tablet or capsule form absorbed in GI tract
dose: 50-200 mg duration: 4-6 hours
effects: positive mood change, increased energy
takes place in “raves”
causes release of serotonin and also blocks re uptake of serotonin there causes prolonged period of serotonergic activation.
brain areas of learning and memory: lowering serotonergic functioning
brain areas of sleep and appetite: excess serotonin release.
serotonin restricts blood vessels and acts as a neurotransmitter.

53
Q

Myristicin and elemincin

A

found in fruit of a tree

weak hallucinogen

54
Q

Self Admin and CPP

A 
Not self Admin, produces a CPP.
Methylated amphetamine (MDMA, MDA) are self admin and CPP.
55
Q
