High impact information on Perceptual Masking

Baclofen shifted the flumazenil dose-response curve to the right and down, possibly involving perceptual masking of the discriminative stimulus effects of flumazenil by agonist activity at GABAB receptors [1].
Discriminative stimulus effects of flumazenil: perceptual masking by baclofen, and lack of substitution with gamma-hydroxybutyrate and its precursors 1,4-butanediol and gamma-butyrolactone [1].
The exact nature of this modulation of opioid effects by dopamine agonists is unclear, and may include neurochemical interactions as well as psychological mechanisms such as perceptual masking [2].
We suggest that the interactions between CDP and both caffeine and buspirone resulted from the perceptual masking of the interoceptive (subjective) effects of CDP, whereas the interaction between Ro 15-1788 and CDP reflect pharmacological antagonism [3].
