Experimental Morphine Addiction: Method for Automatic Intravenous Injections in Unrestrained Rats
Tóm tắt
An operant behavioral study on morphine addiction utilized a self-injection technique for giving intravenous injections to relatively unrestrained rats. The rate of self-injection varied inversely with the dose. Morphine was a reinforcer that produced almost immediate satiation.
