“…Therefore, it is not surprising that the pattern of cell arrest (increased intracellular with no change in extracellu-lar fluorescence) is converted to the pattern seen with cell arrestors like chlorimipramine in association with compensatory changes, that is, increases in both extracellular and intracellular amine measures (Mandell, Geyer, & Knapp, in preparation). Animal behavioral data and clinical reports have suggested that lithium antagonizes the behavioral effects of both amphetamine (Segal, Callaghan, & Mandell, 1975;Furukawa, 1975;van Kammen & Murphy, 1975) and cocaine (Cronson & Flemenbaum, 1978;Flemenbaum, 1974), and this antagonism is consistent with known serotonergic inhibition of stimulant-induced behavior (Hollister, Breese, Kuhn, Cooper, & Schanberg, 1976;Warbritton, Stewart, & Baldessarini, 1978). Consonant with this formulation is the finding that parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) an inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase (Scheel-Kriiger, Braestrup, Nielson, Golembiowska, & Mocilnicka, 1977), and lesions of the mesolimbic median raphe nuclei (but not the mesostriatal dorsal raphe nuclei) potentiate many of the behavioral effects of amphetamine and cocaine (Segal, 1977).…”
