Repeated morphine reorganizes sleep-wake states, cortical and central medial thalamic oscillations, and network synchronization in mice

Vasilije Tadic, MacKenzie Walz, Slobodan M. Todorovic, Tamara Timić Stamenić

This study shows that repeated morphine exposure in mice disrupts sleep architecture, alters cortical and thalamic oscillations, and changes network synchronization, with effects persisting beyond sleep recovery.
