Description:
Rats experienced both morphine and an environmental cue, but the cue always signaled a drug-free period. They were subsequently administered morphine in the presence of the cue, and the development of analgesic tolerance was assessed. The prior experience retarded such tolerance. The finding that a procedure of opiate administration can retard opiate tolerance suggests that an association between cues preceding the drug and the drug itself contributes to tolerance.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Siegel, S -- Hinson, R E -- Krank, M D -- DA-01200/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Jun 26;212(4502):1533-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7233244" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
