Effects of intra-NASh THC and selective MOR antagonists on place conditioning behaviors. (a) Anterior NASh (+2.5 mm from bregma) microinfusions of THC dose dependently increases preference for the drug paired side. Co-administration of cyprodime, but not Nor-BNI, dose-dependently blocks this effect. (b) Difference scores of the data presented in (a) showing the effect of THC in the anterior NASh. (c) In contrast, posterior NASh (+1.5 mm from bregma) THC dose dependently produces a conditioned place aversion. Co-administration of Nor-BNI, but not cyprodime, dose-dependently blocks this effect. (d) Difference scores of the data presented in (c) showing the effect of THC in the posterior NASh. (e) Infusions of the effective doses of cyprodime (1 μg) or Nor-BNI (1 μg) vs. VEH produce neither reward nor aversion effects in the CPP paradigm. (f) THC in the anterior (but not posterior) NASh (100 ng) selectively potentiates the rewarding effects of a sub-reward threshold CPP conditioning dose of morphine.
