Nucleus Accumbens μ-Opioid Receptors Mediate Social Reward
Open accessAbstract
Positive social interactions are essential for emotional well-being and proper behavioral development of young individuals. Here, we studied the neural underpinnings of social reward by investigating the involvement of opioid neurotransmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in social play behavior, a highly rewarding social interaction in adolescent rats. Intra-NAc infusion of morphine (0.05–0.1 μg) increased pinning and pouncing, characteristic elements of social play behavior in rats, and blockade of NAc opioid receptors with naloxone (0.5 μg) prevented the play-enhancing effects of systemic morphine (1 mg/kg, s.c.) administration. Thus, stimulation of opioid receptors in the NAc was necessary and sufficient for morphine to increase social play. Intra-NAc treatment with the selective μ-opioid receptor agonist [ d -Ala 2 , N -MePhe 4 ,Gly 5 -ol]enkephalin (DAMGO) (0.1–10 ng) and the μ-opioid receptor antagonist Cys-Tyr- d -Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH 2 (CTAP) (0.3–3 μg) increased and decreased social play, respectively. The δ-opioid receptor agonist DPDPE ([ d -Pen 2 , d -Pen 5 ]-enkephalin) (0.3–3 μg) had no effects, whereas the κ-opioid receptor agonist U69593 ( N -methyl-2-phenyl- N -[(5 R ,7 S ,8 S )-7-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1-oxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl]acetamide) (0.01–1 μg) decreased social play. Intra-NAc treatment with β-endorphin (0.01–1 μg) increased social play, but met-enkephalin (0.1–5 μg) and the enkephalinase inhibitor thiorphan (0.1–1 μg) were ineffective. DAMGO (0.1–10 ng) increased social play after infusion into both the shell and core subregions of the NAc. Last, intra-NAc infusion of CTAP (3 μg) prevented the development of social play-induced conditioned place preference. These findings identify NAc μ-opioid receptor stimulation as an important neural mechanism for the attribution of positive value to social interactions in adolescent rats. Altered NAc μ-opioid receptor function may underlie social impairments in psychiatric disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, or personality disorders.

Intra-NAc infusion of the mu-opioid receptor agonist DAMGO or amphetamine leads to enhanced play fighting when injected either into the core or into the shell.
“Furthermore, intra-NAc infusion of the mu-opioid receptor agonist DAMGO or amphetamine leads to enhanced play fighting when injected either into the core or into the shell19,56.”
Substantial evidence supports the involvement of both NAc shell and core in play fighting.

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.
