The parabrachial nucleus: a brain stem substrate critical for mediating the aversive motivational effects of morphine.

abstract：:For 5 days, rats were exposed to shocks that were signalled by a light 0, 33, 66, or 100% of the time. Basal hormone levels and responses to a light-shock pair were measured daily. Greater predictability was associated with higher basal plasma corticosterone and norepinephrine levels indicative of chronic stress. Habi...
