Endogenous nociceptin signaling and stress-induced analgesia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NC) and its receptor (OP4) have been implicated in pain transmission. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the NC/OP4 system in stress-induced analgesia (SIA). The tail-withdrawal assay was performed in mice stressed by forced swimming in water at 15 degrees C (high severity swims) or 32 degrees C (low severity swims). High severity swims produced a naloxone-insensitive antinociceptive effect which was blocked by supraspinal NC (1 nmol). The selective OP4 receptor antagonist, [Nphe1]NC(-13)NH2 (30 nmol), was inactive by itself, but prevented the effect of NC. Low severity swims produced a milder analgesic effect that was partially antagonized by naloxone, completely blocked by NC and potentiated by [Nphe1]NC(-13)NH2. These findings confirm the anti-analgesic role of supraspinal NC and suggest that endogenous NC signaling counteracts the opioid component of SIA.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
