International audience. The exact role of delta opioid receptors in drug-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) remains debated. Under classical experimental conditions, morphine-induced CPP is decreased in mice lacking delta opioid receptors (Oprd1 (-/-)). Morphine self-administration, however, is maintained, suggesting that drug-context association rather than drug reward is deficient in these animals.
