New preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
This was led by former Bachelor student Débora Elizarrarás and postdoc César Carranza. Here we wanted to study structural brain changes in opiod self-administration. Specifically if there was a link between MRI volume and neuroinflamation.
Morphine self-administration induces region-specific brain volume changes and microglial phenotypic alterations without affecting neuronal density in male Wistar rats
Addiction to opioids, including morphine, is a major public health crisis in the U.S. It has been associated with brain volume changes in reward-related regions, neuronal death, and neuroinflammation....
