A clozapine-like effect of cyproheptadine on progressive ratio schedule performance (2011)
Journal Article
Olarte-Sánchez, C., Valencia Torres, L., Cassaday, H. J., Body, S., Bradshaw, C., Szabadi, E., & Goudie, A. (2012). A clozapine-like effect of cyproheptadine on progressive ratio schedule performance. Journal of Psychopharmacology, 26(6), 857-870. https://doi.org/10.1177/0269881111408961

The atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine has multiple pharmacological actions, some of which, including 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT2) and histamine (H1) receptor antagonist effects, are shared by the non-selective 5-HT receptor antagonist cyproheptadi...

The normal inhibition of associations is impaired by clonidine in Tourette syndrome (2011)
Journal Article
Kantini, E., Cassaday, H. J., Hollis, C., & Jackson, G. M. (2011). The normal inhibition of associations is impaired by clonidine in Tourette syndrome. Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry = Journal de l'Academie canadienne de psychiatrie de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, 20(2),

Objective: We examined the inhibition of stimulus-stimulus associations (formally ‘conditioned inhibition’) in Tourette syndrome (TS). Method: The present study used video game style conditioned inhibition procedures suitable for children and adolesc...

Effect of orexin-B-saporin-induced lesions of the lateral hypothalamus on performance on a progressive ratio schedule
Journal Article
Olarte-Sánchez, C., Valencia Torres, L., Body, S., Cassaday, H. J., Bradshaw, C., & Szabadi, E. Effect of orexin-B-saporin-induced lesions of the lateral hypothalamus on performance on a progressive ratio schedule. Journal of Psychopharmacology, 26(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0269881111409607

It has been suggested that a sub-population of orexinergic neurones whose somata lie in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) play an important role in regulating the reinforcing value of both food and drugs. This experiment examined the effect of disr... Read More about Effect of orexin-B-saporin-induced lesions of the lateral hypothalamus on performance on a progressive ratio schedule.
