Sex versus sweet: opposite effects of opioid drugs on the reward of sucrose and sexual pheromones.

abstract：:This experiment was conducted to determine whether the amount of preoperative training influences the effects, on retention, of amygdala lesions induced 30 days after escape training. Rats received 1 or 10 footshock-motivated escape training trials; 30 days later, sham or neurotoxic amygdala lesions were induced. Resu...
