Abstract

Among those effects of d amphetamine probably mediated by central dopaminergic neurons (e.g., stereotyped behavior and rotational behavior) are its effects on body temperature thermoregulatory responses. The hypothermic effect may lend itself to use in screening dopamine receptor stimulants, and dopamine receptor blocking agents (including antipsychotic agents).
