Role of Orexin in the Tolerance and Physical Dependence to Morphine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Although opioid drugs cause analgesia and more effective in treatment of pain but, its utility is hindered by the development of tolerance to its analgesic effects.

Nociceptin attenuates the escalation of oxycodone self-administration by normalizing CeA-GABA transmission in highly addicted rats. [PDF]
Approximately 25% of patients who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them, and 5 to 10% develop an opioid use disorder. Although the neurobiological target of opioids is well known, the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the ...

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Inhibition of alpha7 nicotinic receptors in the ventral hippocampus selectively attenuates reinstatement of morphine‐conditioned place preference and associated changes in AMPA receptor binding [PDF]
Recurrent relapse is a major problem in treating opiate addiction. Pavlovian conditioning plays a role in recurrent relapse whereby exposure to cues learned during drug intake can precipitate relapse to drug taking.
