The antinociceptive action of several analgesics was studied by two methods: the hot-plate and the tail compression tests. Lesions of the midbrain raphe, which produce a marked depletion of serotonin in the forebrain, antagonize the analgesic effect of morphine but not that of methadone, meperidine

Two different techniques were employed to measure morphine analgesia, the hot-plate and the tail compression. An intraventricular injection of 6-hydroxydopamine, which produced a marked decrease of brain noradrenaline and dopamine, strongly potentiated the analgesic effect of morphine. The lesion
## Abstract Anatomical studies have shown that the globus pallidus receives abundant 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) innervations from raphe nuclei. 5‐HT may occupy an important position in the modulation of motor function through its affect on the activity of globus pallidus. In the present study, intr
The ontogenetic development of the audiogenic immobility reaction (freezing) was studied in rats given intracisternal injections of the neurotoxins 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT), 25 gg, or 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), 100 gg, neonatally (Day 1). The duration of the freezing response was strongly
In this study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) were investigated in rats after i.v. administration as a bolus dose (86.7 pmol kg-I) and as a constant rate infusion (2.9 pmol h-') over 5 days. After the bolus dose, the clearance (Cl) was 12.1 ~0.6mlmin-\*\*kg,
