吗啡成瘾的非人灵长类动物恒河猕猴(Macaca mulatta)模型的实验结果表明,猕猴可建立吗啡条件化位置偏好(conditioned place preference,CPP),且其与吗啡线索相关的记忆可持续(36.3±1.3)月。该研究可以为药物成瘾研究提供有效的非人灵长类动物行为模型。
We showed that rhesus monkeys(Macaca mulatta) can develop a morphine dependence.Rhesus monkeys successfully established a conditioned place preference(CPP) induced by morphine treatment and this preference lasted for at least(36.3±1.3) months.This animal model may be useful for research into addiction in humans.
