Mu opioid receptor expression by nucleus accumbens inhibitory interneurons promotes affiliative social behavior

Carlee Toddes, Emilia M. Lefevre, Cassandra L. Retzlaff, Lauryn Zugschwert, Sameer Khan, Erin Myhre, Elysia A. Gauthier, Ezequiel Marrón Fernández de Velasco, Brigitte Lina Kieffer, Patrick E. Rothwell

The paper identifies nucleus accumbens inhibitory interneurons as a key site where mu opioid receptor expression promotes social behavior, distinct from its role in exogenous opioid sensitivity.

Differential Patterns of Synaptic Plasticity in the Nucleus Accumbens Caused by Continuous and Interrupted Morphine Exposure

Emilia M. Lefevre, Elysia A. Gauthier, Lauren L. Bystrom, Jordan Scheunemann, Patrick E. Rothwell

This study compares synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens under continuous vs interrupted morphine exposure in mice, finding divergent effects on inhibitory synapses and D1-MSN output.
