Abstract

Amphetamin, pentobarbital, pargyline, parachlorophenylalanine, pentetrasol and maximal electroshock all increased significantly cyclic AMP in mice whole brain conversely reserpine induced a decrease of cyclic nucleotide. All those changes were tentatively correlated toward central monoaminergic systems activation.
