Using amperometry, chronoamperometry, in vivo microdialysis, and locomotor activity monitoring; I was involved in the following studies:
o Differential effects of amphetamine isomers on dopamine release in the rat striatum and nucleus accumbens core.
o Striatal GDNF administration and microdialysis in aged F344 rats.
o Microdialysis studies of D-amphetamine-evoked striatal dopamine overflow in young versus aged F344 rats: effects of concentration and order of administration.
o Acute locomotor effects of fluoxetine, sertraline, and nomifensine in young versus aged Fischer 344 rats.
o Nomifensine reveals age-related changes in K(+)-evoked striatal DA overflow in F344 rats
