This table compares the published effects of MAO inhibitors (MAOI) on naïve and METH-treated mice. CAR: conditioned avoidance responses; CPP: conditioned place preference; DSE: discriminative stimulus effect; NC: no change; ND: not detected; ip: intraperitoneal injection; sc: subcutaneous injection. “Selegiline” means “l-isomer of selegiline” in this table.

a

Comparison between MAOI- and vehicle-pretreated subjects.

b

Mice were used after they were trained under a 5-response, fixed ratio schedule of stimulus-shock termination or a 10-response, fixed ratio schedule of food presentation to discriminate between d-amphetamine (1 mg/kg) and saline in a two-lever, conditioning procedure.
