The interactions of reserplne and the monoamlne oxldase inhibitors, nialamide and isocarboxazld, were studied, in rabbits. EEG recordings were made from animals with acute and chronically implanted electrodes. Gross behavioral observations were made in freely moving rabbits and brain amine concentrations of norepinephrine and serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine] were also determined. Emphasis was placed on observing effects over periods of time ranging up to 13 days. Rabbits given isocarboxazld or nialamide alone exhibit a phenomenon rarely seen in the control animals, namely partial activation, an eeg pattern in which slow waves of high amplitude are maintained in the cortex while fast activity appears in subcortical structures. This effect was also observed in rabbits treated with nialamide and reserplne in combination. By appropriate dosage schedules in which reserplne was administered to animals pre-treated with monoamlne oxldase inhibitors it was possible to maintain extended periods of frank arousal or eeg activation over a period of several days. The absolute concentrations of brain amines bore little or no relationship to the eeg effects observed, increased ratios of serotonin to norepinephrine were observed in conjunction with eeg activation and signs of behavioral excitement.
