Opioid receptor function in social attachment in young domestic fowl

Warnick, Jason E., McCurdy, Christopher R., Sufka, Kenneth J.·2005·Behavioural Brain Research

Abstract

Opioid systems are implicated in social attachment processes. This research sought to determine the functional contribution of each opioid receptor in modulating social attachment/separation distress. Following ICV administration of opiate probes, 7-day-old cockerels were isolated from conspecifics for a 3 min test period under either a mirror or no-mirror condition. Vocalizations served as the measure of separation-stress. Opioid receptor probes included: the mu agonist DAMGO (0.02, 0.19, 1.95 nmol), the mu antagonist CTOP (0.009, 0.09, 0.9 nmol), the delta agonist SNC80 (0.3, 1.0, 3.0 micromol), the delta antagonist naltrindole (0.2, 2.2, 22.2 nmol), the kappa agonist U50, 488 (1, 30, 100 nmol), the kappa antagonist norBNI (1.3, 13.6, 136.1 nmol), the NOP agonist N/OFQ (0.01, 0.1, 1.0 nmol), and the NOP antagonist UFP-101 (0.1, 1.0, 10.0 nmol). DAMGO attenuated separation distress vocalizations. No other drug probe enhanced or attenuated distress vocalizations. Further, the non-selective opiate antagonist naloxone (0.3, 8.3, 27.5 nmol) did not exacerbate distress vocalizations. These results suggest that only the mu receptor modulates social attachment in young domestic fowl.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
