Progressive and long-term increase of sensitivity to cocaine and amphetamine after the chronic administration has been called reverse tolerance phenomenon' (Seevers & Deneau, 1963) and con-sidered to be an important concept for studying the biological mecanisms of canine- or amphetamine-psychosis recently. Post et al. (1975) and Klawans (1977) described the reverse tolerance phenomenon as a phenomenon analogous to the electrical kindling phenomenon originally described by Goddard et al. 1969), and used the term 'cocaine kindling' or 'dopamine kindling' instead of the 'reverse tolerance phenomenon '. However, the neuromechanisms underlying both the dopamine and the electrical kindling has not yet been clear. In order to elucidate this problem, cocaine-induced reverse tolerance phenomenon and electrical amygdaloid kinding in cats were compared in this study. Behavioral and electroencephalographic observations were made during the daily administration of cocaine and electrical amygdaloid stimulation in the different group of cats. Following results were obtained; 1) the common characteristic finding of both phenomenon was thas sensitization of response appeared only after the repeated administration and was long-lasting for more than three months, 2) in the case of cocaine-induced reverse tolerancephenomenon, sensitized response was limited in nonepileptic behavioral or electrographic response just as stereotyped behavior and increase of slow EEG activity in the olfactory bulb and/or globus pallidus. On the other hand, convulsive response was intensified along with a prolongation of after-discharge duration and appearance of interictal discharge in the stimulated and unstimulated brain structures in the electrical amygdaloid kindling. No change in nonepileptic behavioral response was found in this group, 3) cocaine-induced reverse tolerance phenomenon appeared with increased sensitivity to apomorphine, while the electrical kindling was suppressed markedly by the pre-treatment of chronic cocaine administration and facilitated by the haloperidol treatment as we have reported previously. Together with these findings, it is suggested that hypersensitivity of dopamine receptor may play an important role for inducing cocaine-induced reverse tolerance phenomenon but play an inhibitory role for establishing supposed transsynaptic changes underlying the electrical kindling. It is concluded that the reverse tolerance and electrical kindling might be the phenomenon with the same phenomenologic characteristic but depending upon the different, rather antagonistic underlying neurobiological base.
