| Abstract |
Dopamine D1 receptor partial agonists have been proposed as candidate medications for the treatment of cocaine dependence. However, there currently is scant information regarding how chronic exposure to D1 agonists may modify behavioral effects of cocaine and, especially, whether tolerance develops to their effects on cocaine self-administration. The present studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of chronic treatment with the D1 receptor partial agonist SKF 77434 on IV cocaine self-administration in rhesus monkeys. A protocol was developed to rapidly evaluate the effects of chronic drug exposure on extinction behavior, threshold dose of self-administered cocaine, and the dose-effect function for cocaine self-administration behavior. Monkeys performed in daily sessions of IV cocaine self-administration under a fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement and food presentation under either a fixed-ratio or fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement. When both types of performance were stable, chronic exposure to SKF 77434 followed with month-long regimens of IV treatment with each of two or three dosages. The effects of SKF 77434 were dose-related. Exposure to 1.0 mg/kg per day of SKF 77434 yielded a moderate and persistent rightward shift in the descending portion of the dose-effect function for cocaine self-administration but did not alter the threshold dose and did not disrupt either extinction behavior or food-maintained performance. An increase in dosage to 3.2-5.6 mg/kg per day displaced the dose-effect function for cocaine self-administration downward from its prechronic position, altered threshold dose values, and disrupted food-maintained performance. Chronic treatment with D1 receptor partial agonists produced dose-dependent effects on cocaine self-administration that may be relevant to their further evaluation as candidate medications for the treatment of cocaine dependence. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 December 2021.
All research outputs
#7,445,163
of 22,759,618 outputs
Outputs from Psychopharmacology
#2,098
of 5,343 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,179
of 118,036 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychopharmacology
#12
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,759,618 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,343 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 118,036 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
