| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we examined the role of the opioid within the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis(BNST) in pain-induced aversion. The conditioned place aversion(CPA) induced by intra-dorsolateral part of BNST(dlBNST) injection of CRF was reversed by the co-injection of an opioid agonist. On the other hand, nociceptive behaviors induced by pain stimulus were also changed by intra-dlBNST injection of opioid agonist. Further, we revealed that noradrenergic transmission within the ventral part of BNST regulates food intake and anxiety-like behaviors.
