abstract

  • The ability of ibogaine, injected 24 hr before amphetamine, to modify the establishment of amphetamine-induced place preference learning was assessed. A single injection of ibogaine blocked the establishment of amphetamine place preference after 1 or 2 conditioning trials, but it was less effective after 4 trials. The reduced effectiveness of ibogaine across multiple conditioning trials appears to be the result of the development of tolerance to ibogaine.
