摘要
Alpha and gamma endorphin both inhibited the extinction of a runway task for water reward in water-deprived rats after subcutaneous injections of microgram dosages. At similar doses, these same peptides produced opposing actions on the extinction of a pole-jumping avoidance task: alpha endorphin inhibited and gamma endorphin facilitated extinction. The effects of these peptides on motivated behavior may thus be situation-dependent. © 1979.
