Rats were trained to self-administer cocaine on a fixed-ratio 5 schedule of reinforcement with a 1-min time-out period following each infusion. Cocaine was available at doses of either 0.1, 0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg/infusion. A low dose (3 microgram/kg) of the D1 antagonist SCH23390 caused an increase in cocaine self-administration which was more prominent at higher, as compared to lower, doses of cocaine. Higher doses of SCH23390 generally caused decreases in self-administration which may in part be due to the response-decreasing properties of this agent. The D2 antagonist spiperone generally caused an increase in self-administration of cocaine. These data suggest that cocaine reinforcement depends upon both D1 and D2 receptor subtypes.
