Q

Opioid induced hyperalgesia caused by all of the following EXCEPT:
A. CCK release from rostral ventromedial medulla
B. Increased inflammatory infiltrate

A

B

25
Q

All of the following are involved in the rewarding effect of opioids EXCEPT:

A

C

o Mu receptor in ventral tegmental area in midbrain consists of dopaminergic, GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons
o VTA communicates w/ nucleus accumbens (=medium spinal neurons in ventral striatum) → receive input from both dopaminergic neurons of VTA and glutamatergic neurons of hippocampus, mygdala, medial prefrontal cortex → medium spiny neurons release GABA onto ventral pallidum → drives mesolimbic system
