The behavioural effects of enkephalin analogues injected into the ventral tegmental area and globus pallidus.

Two stable analogues of enkephalin D-Ala2-Met5-enkephalinamide (DAMA) and D-Ala2,D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE) injected bilaterally into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) induced locomotion, characterized by bursts of morphine-like activity.
