The results indicate that amphetamine increased the value of delayed rewards (decreased impulsivity) and that D2 but not D1 receptor antagonists decreased thevalue of delayed Rewards ( increased impulsivity).
Abstract
The results indicate that amphetamine increased the value of delayed rewards (decreased impulsivity) and that D2 but not D1 receptor antagonists decreased the value of delayed rewards (increased impulsivity). The procedure was sensitive to acute 1-day changes in delay and magnitude of reward.

The molecular mechanism underlying DA-mediated incentive learning may involve DA release in association with reward, stimulation of D1-like receptors, activation of the cAMP/PKA cascade and additional intracellular events leading to modification of cortico-striatal glutamatergic synapses activated by stimuli encountered in close temporal contiguity with reward.

284 Citations1983Andres V. Maricq, Russell M. Church
Since methamphetamine releases several catecholamines, including dopamine, and haloperidol blocks dopamine receptors, it is plausible that the horizontal location of the psychometric function (the speed of the clock) is related to the effective level of dopamine.

79 Citations1999Nathalie Ginovart, Lars Farde +2 more
No support for the view that chronic intermittent hyperactivity of the dopamine system may be related to an upregulation of striatal D2‐dopamine receptors is found, which may be a neurochemical correlate to the abnormal movements, anhedonia, anxiety, and depression seen in psychostimulant abusers.

74 Citations1996Dominique Charrier, Marie-Hélène Thiébot
The results indicate that the present operant paradigm is not sensitive to acute modifications in the internal state of the animals and in the reward contingencies, and therefore is not useful to evaluate tolerance to delay and variations in impulsiveness in rats.
