## 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 effect of U-50, 488H, a highly selective kappa opioid agonist, on ipsilateral and contralateral circling behavior induced by methamphetamine and by apomorphine, respectively. U-50, 488H (3.2-10 mg/kg IP) by itself failed to induce either ipsilateral
