Antinociceptive effects of elevated plus-maze exposure: influence of opiate receptor manipulations.

abstract：RATIONALE:Toluene is a misused inhalant with hallucinogenic properties and complex effects. Toluene blocks N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, releases dopamine (DA), and modifies several neurotransmitter levels; nonetheless, the mechanism by which it produces hallucinations is not well characterized. OBJECTIVES:Th...
