Endogenous opioids seem to play a critical role in the regulation of mood states. For example, there is accumulating evidence that stimulation of κ-opioid receptors, upon which the endogenous opioid dynorphin acts, can produce depressive-like behaviors in laboratory animals. Here we examined whether systemic administration of salvinorin A (SalvA), a potent and highly selective κ-opioid agonist, would produce depressive-like effects in the forced swim test (FST) and intracranial self-stimulation… Expand
