Abstract: | Hypophysectomized and sham-operated (normal) rats were given morphine (5 mg/kg) either paired or unpaired with distinctive environmental cues. Both hypophysectomized and normal animals developed analgesic tolerance when drug effects were signaled, but little tolerance was evident in either surgery group when drug was unsignaled. Results suggest that the pituitary is not critical to associational tolerance development. |
