A dose of diprenorphine, which produces no analgesia, antagonizes the analgesia of other opioids, and facilitates pressing for brain stimulation in rats, was shown to establish a conditioned place preference. This finding provides further support for the conclusion that opioid analgesia and the positive reinforcing characteristics of opioids are separable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
