Abstract

Accurel devices were used to administer AVP or AVP-antagonist into the lateral ventricle of the rat brain for 7 days. Neither AVP nor antagonist altered total binding site concentration in either septum or amygdala. However, treatment with antagonist caused a marked decrease in the affinity of the receptor for agonist in both the septum and amygdala.
