Place aversion induced by the substance P analogue, dimethyl-C7, is not state dependent: implication of substance P in aversion

  • Published:
Experimental Brain Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Intraventricular infusion of the stable substance P analogue, DiMethyl-C7, was found to produce aversion in a place conditioning paradigm. This effect was independent of state dependent learning since the place aversion was also seen when the subjects were tested under the influence of the drug. A role for substance P in aversion is discussed.
