Drugs stimulating the dopamine (DA) neurons in different ways (apomorphine, piribedil, amphetamine, nomifensine, L-DOPA) given in low doses (not producing behavioral excitation) induced yawning in rats. Blockade of DA receptors with neuroleptics counteracted DA-agonists induced yawning which may indicate a dopaminergic component of this behavior.
以不同方式刺激多巴胺(DA)神经元的药物(阿扑吗啡、吡贝地尔、苯丙胺、诺米芬辛、左旋多巴)低剂量给药(不产生行为兴奋)可诱导大鼠打哈欠。用抗精神病药物阻断DA受体会抵消DA激动剂诱导的打哈欠,这可能表明该行为存在多巴胺能成分。
