Early postnatal stimulation alters pregnane neurosteroids in the hippocampus.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to determine if multiple aspects of drug and food-reinforced behavior could be measured in a single study. Drug or food seeking can be observed under four conditions: 1) internal drug or food cues and external stimulus cues present; self-administration, 2) only internal cues present; prim...
