Methods for Intravenous Self Administration in a Mouse Model
Animal models have been developed to study the reinforcing effects of drugs, including the intravenous self-administration (IVSA) paradigm. The advantages of using an IVSA paradigm to study the reinforcing properties of drugs of abuse such as cocaine include the fact that the drug is self-administered instead of experimenter-administered, the schedule of reinforcement can be altered, and accura...
متن کاملIntravenous morphine self-administration alters accumbal microRNA profiles in the mouse brain
A significant amount of evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in drug addiction. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a critical part of the brain's reward circuit and is involved in a variety of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, and drug addiction. However, few studies have examined the expression of miRNAs and their functional roles in the NAc under c...
متن کاملThe effect of L-arginine and L-NAME on intravenous self-administration of morphine in rats
The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the reinforcing properties of opiate reward was studied by examining the effect of a NO precursor (L-arginine) and a NO synthase inhibitor (L-NAME) on the rate of intravenous self-administration of morphine. This experiment was investigated in male albino Sprague Dawley rats (300 ± 50 g). At doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg (i.p.), L-arginine decreased morphine ...

15 صفحه اولIntravenous self-administration of morphine and cocaine: a comparative study.
The aim of the present study was to estimate differences between patterns of morphine and cocaine use in Sprague-Dawley rats. This was done by first developing a set of conditions under which both drugs would be consistently self-administered over time. Subsequently rats were studied in groups of three, with only one rat actively self-administering morphine or cocaine while others two receiving...
