Abstract
Microinjections of nanogram amounts of sulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8S) into the nucleus accumbens were examined for effects on intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) derived from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The results showed that CCK-8S dose-dependently antagonized VTA intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) without affecting maximum response rates. CCK-8S also increased the current threshold required for ICSS. These findings were interpreted to suggest that CCK-8S attenuates brain stimulation reward derived from the VTA.Entities:
