Abstract

The present experiment evaluated the impact of sucrose administered prior to place conditioning and prior to post-test on expression of morphine-induced CPP given past equivocal findings. Robust morphine-induced CPP was found, but, unlike Lett (1989) and Zhai, et al. (2008), pre-exposure to sucrose did not alter expression of morphine-induced CPP.
