Pharmacological modulation of anxiety-like behavior by flumazenil, midazolam, and ketamine in rats: Evidence from aversive ultrasonic vocalizations and elevated plus maze.

Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior May 25, 2026 Marcela Unterspann, Chrysostomos Charalambous, Martin Votava et al.

Anxiety- and stress-related disorders are commonly treated using combinations of centrally acting drugs. However, the behavioral outcomes of interactions between GABAergic and glutamatergic systems remain incompletely characterized. The present study investigated the effects of flumazenil, ketamine and midazolam, and their combinations, on anxiety-like behavior in adult male rats using aversive...

Relation of sex and estrous phase to deficits in prepulse inhibition of the startle response induced by ecstasy (MDMA)

Behavioural Pharmacology March 1, 2005 V. Buben Kov, Martin Votava, J. Hora Ek et al. 38 citations

Sensorimotor gating is the ability of a weak sensory event to inhibit the motor response to an intense stimulus. Drugs that act as serotonin releasers, such as MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), impair sensorimotor gating, which is measured as a prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle response. The first objective of the present study was to compare the effect of different...
