Journal Article
Shortall, S. E., Green, A. R., Fone, K. C., & King, M. V. (2016). Caffeine alters the behavioural and body temperature responses to mephedrone without causing long-term neurotoxicity in rats. Journal of Psychopharmacology, 30(7), https://doi.org/10.1177/0269881116650408

Administration of caffeine with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) alters the pharmacological properties of MDMA in rats. The current study examined whether caffeine alters the behavioural and neurochemical effects of mephedrone, which has simi...
