    Abstract

    Repeated intraventricular administration of ACHT results in reduction of subsequent ACTH-induced grooming behavior. A previous injection of β-endorphin, (D-Phe7)ACTH4−10, or morphine, also reduces the behavioral response to a subsequent injection of ACTH. The reduction in grooming as a result of repeated administration is not mediated by corticosteroid feedback and can be eliminated by pretreatment with the opiate antagonist naloxone.
