Abstract excerpt

Our previous work provided evidence that hippocampal opioid peptides form an important neurochemical substrate underlying the gene-dependent exploratory behavior of mice. A prominent hippocampal opioid is dynorphin B, which resides in the mossy fibers exclusively. In order to seek support for causal relationships between dynorphinergic hippocampal mechanisms and exploration, a quantitative-genetic method was...
