We recently developed a rat model of relapse to drug seeking after food choice-induced voluntary abstinence. Here, we used this model to study the role of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and its afferent projections in relapse to fentanyl seeking.

Qualitative identification of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids using ambient ionization high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry [PDF]
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deemed the increase in overdose fatalities, due to the use of opioids, an “opioid epidemic” in the United States. Heroin, fentanyl, and other synthetic opioids are commonly abused and are contributing to the

Can variability in the effect of opioids on refractory breathlessness be explained by genetic factors? [PDF]
© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objectives: Opioids modulate the perception of breathlessness with a considerable variation in response, with poor correlation between the required opioid dose and symptom severity. The objective of this

A foam‐based ELISA (f‐ELISA) platform was developed using chemically modified melamine foam to enable rapid, ultrasensitive, and selective colorimetric detection of fentanyl and norfentanyl. Abstract Rapid and accurate detection of fentanyl in unknown products and aqueous samples can find the unexpected existence of the toxic chemical and assist law ...

Fentanyl demand and seeking in female rats: Role of the orexin system and estrous cycle
The orexin system plays a major role in drug reward. Orexin-1 receptor (OxR1) blockade reduces fentanyl demand in males. However, there are a number of sex differences in the orexin system, and it is unclear how OxR1 antagonism would decrease fentanyl ...

Characteristics of Fentanyl Overdose — Massachusetts, 2014–2016
Opioid overdose deaths in Massachusetts increased 150% from 2012 to 2015 (1). The proportion of opioid overdose deaths in the state involving fentanyl, a synthetic, short-acting opioid with 50-100 times the potency of morphine, increased from 32% during ...
