Abstract excerpt
The role of the GABA(A) receptor beta3 subunit in determining acute cocaine sensitivity and behavioral sensitization to repeated cocaine was measured in mice missing both (-/-), one (+/-), or neither (+/+) allele of the beta3 gene. Locomotor stimulation induced by one cocaine injection (20 mg/kg, i.p.) was found to be greater in -/- mice compared with +/+ mice, whereas cocaine-induced behaviors were intermediate...
