GYKI 52466 given alone did not alter locomotor activity and haloperidol-induced catalepsy, but significantly antagonized the dizocilpine-induced locomotor stimulation and counteracted the anti-cataleptic effects of dizocilpine on haloperidol-induced catalepsy. Thus blockade of non-NMDA glutamate receptors antagonized the behavioural stimulant effects of a NMDA receptor blockade.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNMDA-Rezeptor , Ratte , Katalepsie570NMDA receptors , Non-NMDA receptors , Dizocilpine , GYKI 52466 , Locomotion , Haloperido , induced catalepsy , RatThe non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist GYKI 52466 counteracts locomotor stimulation and anticataleptic activity induced by the NMDA antagonist dizocilpinearticle2013-05-27
