Pitfalls in the interpretation of genetic and pharmacological effects on anxiety-like behaviour in rodents.

abstract：:In a step-down passive avoidance task, the pre-training injection of 1.25-10 mg/kg of morphine impaired memory. This was restored when injection of the same dose of morphine (pre-test treatment) was repeated 24 h later (morphine state-dependent learning: morphine St-D). ATP-dependent potassium (K(ATP)) channels have b...
