Neonatal hind-paw injury disrupts acquisition of an instrumental response in adult spinal rats.

abstract：:The present series of three experiments was concerned with the effects of morphine and the morphine antagonist naloxone on the development of a classical aversive heart rate (HR) conditioned response (CR) to a tone conditioned stimulus (CS) paired with an electric shock unconditioned stimulus (US).
