Despite evidence of "bioactivity", under the specific experimental conditions of this study, neither direct nor indirect DA agonists had robust effects on startle or PPI. In some cases (for example, amantadine), a time course was identified that will facilitate future studies of DA agonist effects on PPI in humans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
