## Opioid receptor agonists (e.g.,488) increase the locomotor activity of preweanling rats, while the same drugs depress the locomotor activity of adults. Curiously, direct stimulation of dopamine (DA) D 2 -like receptors fully attenuates the U-50,488-induced locomotor activity of preweanling rats

The effect of a selective kappa-opioid agonist, U-50, 488H, on wet-dog shaking (WDS) induced by hippocampal stimulation was investigated and compared with that produced by morphine. U-50, 488H, as well as morphine, inhibited the appearance of WDS in a dose-dependent manner. U-50, 488H was approximat
The present study was designed to investigate the eects of centrally administered morphine and opioid peptides on the discriminative stimulus properties of pentazocine in the rat. Rats were trained to discriminate 3 mg/kg (s.c.) of pentazocine from vehicle in a shock avoidance paradigm. A 3 mg/kg (s
