Changes of μ-opioid receptors and GABA in visual cortex of chronic morphine treated rats

Effects of morphine on brain plasticity

Effects of morphine on brain plasticity.

Prenatal morphine exposure alters the layer II/III pyramidal neurons morphology in lateral secondary visual cortex of juvenile rats

Quantitative analysis showed that prenatal morphine exposure decreased the total length, branch number, and spine density of the layer II/III pyramidal neurons in the V2L, and selectively altered the totalLength of the basal dendrites but not of the apical dendrite, which may provide the mechanistic understanding of the behavioral changes in the children whose mothers abuse opiates during pregnancy.

Chronic morphine exposure affects contrast response functions of V1 neurons in cats

Effects of morphine on the differentiation and survival of developing pyramidal neurons during the brain growth spurt.

Preclinical rodent experimental observations argue against overt neurotoxic effects of morphine exposure during the brain growth spurt by showing that neither single bolus nor repeated administration of morphine affected the density of these postsynaptic structures.

The morphological changes of pyramidal and spiny stellate cells in the primary visual cortex of chronic morphine treated cats

Opioid signal transduction regulates the dendritic morphology of somatostatin and parvalbumin interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex

These findings indicate the differential roles of endogenous ORs in the dendritic remodeling of SST-INs and PV-ins in mPFC.

The acquisition and extinction of morphine conditioned place preference have opposite effects on the morphology of neurons in the nucleus accumbens

Murine morphine conditioned place preference was used to model learning of opioid associations and how morphine and learning interact to alter neuron morphology in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) core and shell after acquisition and extinction of CPP was examined.

The results suggest that at least part of the behavioral changes produced by repeated opiate administration may be attributed to alterations in pyramidal cell structure.

Chronic morphine induces visible changes in the morphology of mesolimbic dopamine neurons.

Direct evidence is provided for structural alterations in VTA dopamine neurons as a consequence of chronic opiate exposure, which could contribute to changes in mesolimbic dopamine function associated with addiction.

Alterations in the morphology of dendrites and dendritic spines in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex following repeated treatment with amphetamine or cocaine

It is suggested that some of the persistent neurobehavioural consequences of repeated exposure to psychostimulant drugs may be due to their ability to reorganize patterns of synaptic connectivity in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex.

Morphine alters the structure of neurons in the nucleus accumbens and neocortex of rats

It is suggested that some of the long‐term behavioral consequences of repeated exposure to morphine may be due to its ability to reorganize patterns of synaptic connectivity in the forebrain.

Persistent Structural Modifications in Nucleus Accumbens and Prefrontal Cortex Neurons Produced by Previous Experience with Amphetamine

The ability of amphetamine to alter patterns of synaptic connectivity in brain regions that mediate its psychomotor activating and rewarding effects may contribute to some of the long-term behavioral consequences of repeated amphetamine use, including amphetamine psychosis and addiction.

It is demonstrated that chronic opiate treatment can significantly modulate synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, leading to an opiate dependence of the plasticity.
