Dorsal hippocampal N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamatergic and δ-opioidergic systems modulate anxiety behaviors in rats in a noninteractive manner

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor agonist, NMDA, on anxiety-like behavior induced by δ-opioid receptor agents in rats, using the elevated plus maze instrument.
