title: The painlike effect of gallamine and naloxone differs from sickness induced by lithium chloride.
abstract: In rats, the conditioned place and taste aversions produced by 31.8 mg/kg lithium chloride were compared with those produced by 10 mg/kg gallamine in Experiment 1 and 20 mg/kg or 2.5 mg/kg naloxone in Experiments 2 and 3, respectively. Lithium produced stronger taste aversions than gallamine or the two doses of naloxone, but gallamine and naloxone each produced stronger place aversions than lithium. These findings support the distinction between two kinds of drug-induced aversive effects, having different associative properties. One effect, called sickness, is more associable with taste than with place cues; the second effect is, like pain, more associable with place than with taste.
