The capacity of the specific narcotic antagonists naltrexone and naloxone to block the discriminative effects produced by morphine in the rat were evaluated using a two-choice, discrete-trial avoidance task. The antagonists produced a dose-dependent and time-dependent blockade of morphine's effects
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
The effects of morphine (10 mg/kg), nalorphine (1 and 10 mg/kg), and naloxone (1 mg/kg) were studied on the neoeortical release of aeetylcholine (ACh) in midpontine pretrigeminal transected rats. Morphine and, to a lesser extent, nalorphine decreased ACh release. Naloxone was ineffective alone but a
