T F Seeger, E L Gardne. Enhancement of self-stimulation behavior in rats and monkeys after chronic neuroleptic treatment: evidence for mesolimbic supersensitivity. Brain research. vol 175. issue 1. 1979-12-20. PMID:114275. in addition, four rhesus monkeys with electrodes in the nucleus accumbens (one of the terminal projection areas of the a10 mesolimbic dopamine system) were given a three week treatment with haloperidol, after which all animals showed a significant, long-lasting decrease in self-stimulation threshold, as measured by a rate-independent reward paradigm. 1979-12-20 2023-08-11 rat
G J Mogenson, M Takigawa, A Robertson, M W. Self-stimulation of the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area of Tsai attenuated by microinjections of spiroperidol into the nucleus accumbens. Brain research. vol 171. issue 2. 1979-10-17. PMID:572734. these observations provide additional evidence implicating dopaminergic neurons in brain-stimulation reward and suggest that dopaminergic neurons contribute to self-stimulation of the nucleus accumbens but not the prefrontal cortex. 1979-10-17 2023-08-11 Not clear
