Show abstract
The {micro}-opioid receptor (MOP) is crucial for both the therapeutic and addictive effects of opioids. Using a multimodal experimental approach, here we combined awake functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging with behavioral and molecular assessments, to examine opioid-induced changes in brain activation and functional connectivity (FC). Morphine, fentanyl, and methadone induce significant dose- and time-dependent reorganization of brain perfusion, oscillations and FC in awake mice. Notably, opioids induce a transient, region-specific hyperperfusion, followed by a consistent MOP-specific dysconnectivity marked by decreased FC of the somatosensory cortex to hippocampal and thalamic regions, alongside increased subcortical and intra-cortical FC. These FC changes temporally correlate with generalized brain MOP activation and analgesia, but not with hypermobility and respiratory depression, suggesting a reorganization of inter-regional FC as a key opioid effect.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
