Dipropylacetate-induced quasi-morphine abstinence behaviour in the rat: suppression by alpha 2-adrenoceptor stimulation.

abstract：RATIONALE:There is evidence that events early in post-weaning life influence brain development and subsequent adult behaviour and therefore play an important role in the causation of certain psychiatric disorders in later life. Exposing rodents to stressors during the juvenile period has been suggested as a model of in...
