Mavrikaki M, Markaki E, Nomikos G, Panagis G
Behav Brain Res . 2010 Jan; 209(1):114-8. PMID: 20097234
The present study sought to examine whether repeated administration of the CB(1) receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 affected intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) behavior and induced phenomena of tolerance or sensitization, similar to typical...

Mavrikaki M, Nomikos G, Panagis G
Int J Neuropsychopharmacol . 2010 Jan; 13(4):541-8. PMID: 20047715
The atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole has been demonstrated to reduce symptoms of bipolar mania. To further profile the antimanic-like properties of aripiprazole in relevant preclinical models, we examined its efficacy in...

Hum Psychopharmacol . 2009 Aug; 24(7):524-31. PMID: 19650155
Rationale: Methadone and buprenorphine are among the most widely employed pharmacological treatments currently available for opioid addiction. Cognitive effects of buprenorphine in abstinent heroin abusers are nevertheless far from being...
