According to the literature, BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the lateral ventral tegmental area (VTA) could modulate morphine reinforcement, but the role of BDNF in the midline VTA has not been studied yet. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of a single intra-mid- line VTA injection on the acquisition and expression of morphine conditioned place preference (CPP). CPP procedure was composed of eight conditioning sessions (one session per day): morphine (i.p., 10 mg/kg) and saline injections were paired to the compartments and counterbalanced.Recombinant human BDNF (0.75 ug) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a vehicle were injected once into the midline VTA one day before or after conditioning.
