“…For example, d-amphetamine, a monoamine releaser, has shown positive effects in human cocaine abusers (Grabowski et al, 2004) and in rodent (Chiodo et al, 2008;Chiodo and Roberts, 2009;Thomsen et al, 2013) and monkey (Negus, 2003;Negus and Mello, 2003;Czoty et al, 2010Czoty et al, , 2011 models. Although efforts are ongoing to develop novel DA indirect agonists for this purpose (e.g., Carroll et al, 1999;Platt et al, 2002;Lile and Nader, 2003;Rothman et al, 2005;Howell and Kimmel, 2008), one currently approved drug for use in humans is methylphenidate (MPD), a DA and norepinephrine (NE) transporter inhibitor used to treat attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Holmes, 1995). MPD has pharmacological and behavioral effects that overlap considerably with those of cocaine (e.g., Bergman et al, 1989;Volkow et al, 1999).…”
