()-DOI hydrochloride is a potent and selective 5-HT2 serotonin receptor agonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier, increases dopamine turnover and the treatment with DOI counteracted the expression of the nicotine-induced locomotor and neurochemical sensitization, but had no effect on nicotine-induced behavioral disinhibition. The responses to DOI provide evidence that of these receptors are abundant in the cortex, and show relatively lower levels in hippocampus and cerebellum.
