Rats were chronically infused with phencyclidine (PCP, 13.3 mg PCP{center dot}HCl/kg/day) or saline, s.c., for 10 days using osmotic minipumps (n = 5 for each group). Twenty-four hours after the cessation of dosing, the rats were sacrificed, and brains were removed for analysis of PCP receptor binding. Saturation studies of the binding of ({sup 3}H)-TCP to brain homogenates revealed statistically significant increases in the maximum binding capacity (B{sub max}) and decreases in the affinity for ({sup 3}H)-TCP in the PCP-treated group.
