Background: Consumption of chronic morphine induces neuro-inflammation and addictive seeking behavior.
Ginger (Zingiber Officinale Roscoe), a well-known spice plant, has been used traditionally in the treatment of
a wide variety of ailments. It has been shown that ginger has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and
antinociceptive properties. However, its influences on morphine-induced addictive behaviors have not yet
been clarified. The aim of the present study was the inhibition of exploratory behavior of morphine addiction
in the conditioned place preference test in male desert rats through ginger.
