In contrast, MTEP suppressed the development of cocaine-but not morphineinduced psychomotor sensitization. α-Flupenthixol blocked the development of both cocaine-and morphine-induced CPP but did not affect the development of sensitization to either drug. Conclusion Dopamine receptor stimulation mediates cocaine and morphine reward but not sensitization. In contrast, the role of mGlu5 receptors in reward and sensitization is drug-specific
