Environmental Enrichment Attenuates Fentanyl-Seeking Behavior and Protects Against Stress-Induced Reinstatement in Both Male and Female Rats

This study shows that object-based environmental enrichment reduces fentanyl intake and stress-induced relapse in rats, suggesting it could be a scalable intervention for opioid use and relapse prevention.

Cornichon Homolog-3 (Cnih3) deletion impairs spatial memory, reward-cue association, and fentanyl self-administration behavior.

This study shows that Cnih3 deletion in mice impairs spatial memory, reward-cue association, and fentanyl self-administration, with potential sex-specific effects on opioid use.
