Abstract

Rats show a significant degree of tolerance to a second dose of morphine, with the degree of tolerance increasing the longer the delay between the two doses of morphine. To measure the morphine effect a foot-shock attenuation procedure that allowed the animal to adjust the shock intensity was used in studying delays of up to 180 days.
