Central effect of morphine pretreatment on short- and long-term habituation to a danger stimulus in the crab Chasmagnathus
Morphine is believed to inhibit the crab's escape response to a danger stimulus due to central drug action. To test alternative explanations of such an effect in terms of afferent and/or efferent impairment, experiments were conducted using the crab's optokinetic response as indicator. Dos...

Morphine is believed to inhibit the crab's escape response to a danger stimulus due to central drug action.
