Sentence examples for stimulant administration from inspiring English sources

Conditioned rewards are preferentially enhanced by manipulations, such as stimulant administration, that boost dopamine tone [70].

These findings led us to hypothesize that psychomotor stimulant administration into the ventral striatum, which would increase extracellular dopamine concentrations, would enhance behavioral interaction maintained by unconditioned salient stimuli.

Thus, while it was thought that psychomotor stimulant administration enhances action associated with conditioned distal stimuli, which has acquired the motivational properties of primary rewards such as nutrients or drug rewards [1], [3], [6], [12], our findings suggest that psychomotor stimulants also play a key role in stimulus-controlled behavior involving unconditioned distal stimuli.

These findings are consistent with the original Lyon-Robbins analysis of stimulant actions in rodents that found increasingly perseverative responses with increasing dose of stimulant administration [ 37].

Significant increases in dopamine to treatment expectation (22%; de la Fuente-Fernández et al. 2002), stimulant administration (16%; Volkow et al. 2002) and alcohol administration (15%; Boileau et al. 2003) have also been reported with similar or lower participant numbers.

With regard to the perceived risk of addiction, for the interviewees frequency of use clearly played a role which is in line with the reflections by Compton and Volkow [ 13]: The perceived risk of addiction was one of the reasons why several users reported on having introduced longer intervals in stimulant administration.

At 12 weeks, stimulant co-administration did not alter the effects of the antipsychotic on body composition or metabolic indices.

However, it is possible that DAT function and affinity (for stimulants) could be changed independently of alterations in absolute levels of transporters which could have profound effects on stimulant self-administration.

Similar to what was observed for the DA experiments, the effects of HCRT manipulations appear to extend beyond stimulant self-administration since previous work shows an involvement of HCRT in mediating the behavioral effects of nicotine, opiates, and ethanol.

The definition of hypertension in children (blood pressure beyond the 95th centile for age and height) suggests that about 5% of children would technically be hypertensive to a level requiring investigation and possible treatment (including pharmacotherapy) prior to administration of stimulant drugs.

Findings from preclinical research have suggested that animals exposed to stimulants become "sensitized": subsequent administration results in more robust behavioural responses, and/or they become more likely to self-administer drugs of abuse later in development [ 72, 73].
