Critical Periods for Diphenylhydantoin and Phenobarbital Administration during Gestation
Pregnant female albino rats were randomly assigned to one of three groups which were administered either 15 mg/kg diphenylhydantoin, 5 mg/kg phenobarbital or an equal volume of distilled water. All administrations occurred daily in one of four time frames, Days 1–7, Days 8–14, Days 15-birth, Days 1-birth. At 75 days of age one male and one female offspring from 48 different litters were tested on avoidance conditioning. Few birth defects were not…
A Failure to Replicate Cross-Generational Effects of Diphenylhydantoin in an F 1 Offspring Group
An attempt was made to replicate the previous finding that undrugged offspring of rats chronically drugged with Diphenylhydantoin demonstrated a learning deficit as measured from avoidance conditioning. The present findings call into question our previously published conclusions. One new finding was the lack of appreciable difference across drug groups regardless of the drug experience of the parent animal
Effects of Methylphenidate on Avoidance Learning in the Aged Rat
Twenty Sprague Dawley rats, aged 22 to 26 months were given subcutaneous injections of 4.5 mg/kg methylphenidate or distilled water. Twelve minutes after the single injection was given, rats began 90 trials of avoidance conditioning. Drug animals made significantly more correct responses than did the control animals. tresults indicate that use of methylphenidate in aged rats improved avoidance learning
Use of a Cross-over Design in Testing Short-Term Methylphenidate Effects on Avoidance Conditioning
90 albino rats, equally divided between the sexes, were divided into groups which received dosages of 4.5 mg/kg, 13.5 mg/kg of methylphenidate and equal volume of distilled water for a total of 8 days. After the initial training period a third of the subjects continued with the same administration while the remaining two-thirds of the animals received the other two dosage combinations. Short-term administration of methylphenidate (Ritalin) facili…
Chronic Methylphenidate Effects on Learning in an F 2 Generation
This study investigated chronic methylphenidate effects on the learning of undrugged second generation offspring. Seventy-two albino rats were tested on avoidance conditioning. The results indicated that (a) the learning of the undrugged offspring was affected, (b) differential sex effects were obtained, and (c) some difficulty was encountered in reproduction
Effects of Chronic Methylphenidate Administration on Learning and Offspring Behavior
Effectiveness of Diazepam and Methylphenidate in Multiple Dosages in Modifying Infant Trauma Effects
Albino rats in independent studies were administered varying dosages of diazepam and methylphenidate prior to a daily shock traumatization experience in infancy. All animals were tested on avoidance conditioning in adulthood. Both drugs were found to be effective in modifying the typically obtained shock deficit. The results failed to substantiate that increased dosage level resulted in more effective modification of trauma effects. Delayed conse…
Effects of Chronic Trifluoperazine Administration in Multiple Dosages on Rat Offspring Behavior
A learning deficit was demonstrated on 48 albino rat offspring of females chronically drugged in infancy with Trifluoperazine. Duration of administration to the parent animal was not a critical factor in the offsprings' learning. The hypothesis that offspring of highest dosage level females would display a more significant deficit was not confirmed
Effects of Contiguous Administration of Tranquilizing Drugs and Shock Traumatization in Infancy
64 albino rats received contiguous administrations of “major” and “minor” tranquilizing drugs and shock traumatization in infancy. The performance measures were avoidance conditioning and competition testing. The results indicate that drug administrations in infancy were effective in mitigating the effects of shock traumatization; major tranquilizing drugs were more effective than minor tranquilizing drugs under the conditions of this study. The …
Using the MMPI with Adolescents who have Somatic Symptoms
Since the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) has been shown to be useful in discriminating between adults who have organically-based somatic symptoms and other adults whose somatic symptoms are deemed to be functional, an investigation of its usefulness in this regard with adolescents (in the 13 through 16 age range) was undertaken. MMPI scores of 44 adolescents who came to a general hospital with somatic symptoms and who were fou…
