Abstract excerpt
The effects of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) on the epileptiform activity has been investigated in adult WAG/RIJ rats. Either intraperitoneal (0.1-0.5 mg/kg) or intracerebroventricular (2-20 microg/rat) administration of 8-OH-DPAT caused marked, d...
