青春期小鼠与成年小鼠在吗啡和食物诱导条件化位置偏爱建立上的异同

该实验通过采用吗啡诱导的条件位置偏爱(conditioned place preference,CPP)与食物诱导CPP相结合的方法来研究青春期小鼠和成年小鼠的普通学习记忆和成瘾学习记忆之间是否存在差异。结果发现:1)成年小鼠能够建立吗啡诱导CPP,而青春期小鼠不能建立;2)青春期小鼠和成年小鼠都能够建立食物诱导CPP。吗啡诱导CPP的结果提示,青春期小鼠和成年小鼠在成瘾学习记忆上有差异,青春期小鼠的成瘾记忆能力较弱。食物诱导CPP的结果提示,青春期小鼠和成年小鼠在普通学习记忆上没有差异。吗啡诱导CPP和食物诱导CPP的结果比较提示,小鼠的普通学习记忆系统和成瘾学习记忆系统发育进程是不平行的。

Differences in morphine-induced and food-induced conditioned place preference between adolescent and adult mice

In the present study, the differences between addictive memory and ordinary memory were investigated by morphine-induced and food-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in adolescent and adult mice. The result showed that: 1) morphine-induced CPP could be established in adult mice but not in adolescent mice. 2) food-induced CPP could be established both in adolescent and adult mice. This study indicated that between adolescent and adult mice, there was no difference in ordinary memory, but for addictive memory, they were quite different. Our data suggested that the development of addictive memory and ordinary memory system in mouse brain might not be paralleled.
