G9a inhibition reduces stress‐potentiated alcohol drinking in both male and female mice: Implications for safe and effective pharmacological therapeutics for alcohol use disorder

open access: yesAlcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2026.
Targeting stress‐escalated alcohol drinking could help patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). We found that reducing the activity of the epigenetic regulatory enzyme G9a (aka euchromatic histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase 2 or EHMT2) by repeated systemic administration of a G9a inhibitor reduces stress‐escalated ethanol drinking in a mouse model ...

Psilocybin and Ibogaine in Cocaine‐Seeking: Extinction Enhancement Without Relapse Prevention

open access: yesAddiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using a preclinical model of cocaine self‐administration, we examined the effects of psilocybin and ibogaine on extinction learning and relapse‐like behaviour. Both compounds, administered during the extinction phase, reduced cocaine seeking, indicating facilitation of extinction learning. However, neither treatment prevented cue‐induced reinstatement.

The Buprenorphine Paradox: How Buprenorphine Triggers and Resolves Opioid Withdrawal

open access: yesAddiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2026.
Buprenorphine can either precipitate or relieve opioid withdrawal depending on the timing of administration relative to full opioid agonist exposure. The article proposes that buprenorphine promotes mu‐opioid receptor (MOR) externalization and resensitization, creating a temporary signaling gap that explains precipitated withdrawal when full agonists ...

Factors Associated With Opioid Agonist Treatment Engagement and Harm Reduction Service Use: Findings From the New South Wales Opioid Dependence Survey

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is one of the most effective treatments for opioid dependence, but there can be barriers to accessing treatment. This study examined characteristics associated with OAT engagement—never, previous or current—among people with opioid dependence in NSW, Australia, following recent reforms to OAT access.

Morphine-Induced Analgesic Tolerance Effect on Gene Expression of the NMDA Receptor Subunit 1 in Rat Striatum and Prefrontal Cortex

open access: yesBasic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Introduction: Morphine is a potent analgesic but its continual use results in analgesic tolerance. Mechanisms of this tolerance remain to be clarified.

Nurses' Pain Assessment and Attitudes: A Qualitative Study in a Neurointensive Care Unit

open access: yesNursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background As analgo‐sedation gains prominence, a significant portion of adult ICU patients—including those in neurointensive care units (neuro‐ICUs)—remain awake and conscious throughout their stay. Despite this, neuro‐ICU patients frequently experience moderate to severe pain, highlighting the critical need for enhanced pain assessment.
