Effects of 5-HT2AR and 5-HT2CR ligands on the abuse-related behavioral effects of cocaine

The results of studies in which a 5-HT2AR or 5-HT2CR ligand was administered before evaluation of cocaine abuse-related behavioral effects of cocaine assessed in rats or monkeys. “Psychomotor stimulant” effects were evaluated typically in photobeam activity monitors. The “stimulus effects of cocaine” were evaluated in a cocaine versus saline, two-lever discrimination task. In this task, “partial” refers to partial substitution of DOI in a cocaine versus saline discrimination. “Impulsive Action” refers to studies that assayed “action restraint” measures of impulsive action (see text and references). “Reward” refers to studies that evaluated effects of manipulations on intake of cocaine (reinforcing effects) and/or breakpoints (motivational effects) in a cocaine self-administration task. “Cocaine-Seeking” refers to behavioral output reinforced by contextual and/or discrete drug-associated cues during withdrawal or following repeated extinction training that occurred in the absence (“Cue”) or presence of investigator-delivered cocaine (“Cocaine”). The up and down arrows indicate an increase (↑) or decrease (↓), respectively, in the abuse-related behavioral effects of cocaine.
