This study shows that morphine exposure during adolescence affects social behavior differently based on sex and the stage of exposure, with lasting effects on adult sociability.

This study examines how morphine affects microglial phagocytosis in rats, finding that TLR4 signaling, not morphine receptors, mediates this effect in striatal microglia.

The paper investigates sex-specific social aging in rats, showing that adolescent stress impacts social behavior differently in males and females, with effects most evident during social tests involving familiar stimuli.
