Abstract

Voluntary self-administration of cocaine and/or morphine was studied in rats. Male rats were offered water bottles or bottles containing either cocaine or morphine, both cocaine and morphine (combination) or cocaine and morphine as a mixture. Alternating the three drug-containing bottles had no effect on drug choice. When offered alone, rats consumed about 12 +/- 8 mg/kg/day of cocaine or 0.3 +/- 0.3 mg/kg/day of morphine. When both drugs were offered in combination, they consumed a higher amount of cocaine (22 +/- 7), but the same amount of morphine (0.4 +/- 0.3). Availability of cocaine/morphine mixture kept morphine consumption constant (0.3 +/- 0.1), but markedly decreased cocaine intake (0.3 +/- 0.2). Addition of saccharin to the drug solutions only slightly increased consumption of both drugs, whereas saccharin added as a competitor or distracter to the drug solution reduced cocaine but not morphine self-administration. Animals showed wide interindividual variations but surprisingly small intraindividual variations in self-administration of cocaine or morphine under all conditions. No correlation between cocaine and morphine intake was apparent in the combination situation. Forcing animals first with cocaine had no effect on subsequent intake of cocaine or morphine presented in combination. However, forcing animals first with morphine subsequently increased morphine and reduced cocaine intake. In conclusion, morphine intake was the same if offered alone, in combination or as a mixture, whereas cocaine intake increased during a combination but decreased in the mixture situation. Cocaine pre-exposure had no effect on subsequent voluntary morphine or cocaine choice, whereas morphine pre-exposure increased subsequent voluntary morphine but decreased cocaine intake. These results suggest the possibility of two reward centers, one for each drug, the morphine center exerting a dominant influence over the cocaine center
