This study examines the effects of gestational opioid exposure on learning and memory in rats, finding spatial and associative learning impairments that can be mitigated by environmental enrichment in males.

This study examines the effects of perigestational morphine exposure on hippocampal development in rats, finding delayed neuronal maturation and altered BDNF expression, which can be mitigated by environmental enrichment.

This study examines the effects of perinatal morphine exposure on maternal behavior and offspring anhedonia in rats, finding disrupted maternal behavior and reduced sucrose preference in offspring.

This study shows that perinatal morphine exposure in rats increases fever and sickness behavior after LPS, suggesting impaired immune function and increased infection susceptibility.

This study shows that perigestational opioid exposure in rats alters alcohol and sucrose reward behaviors, with sex-specific effects on consumption and receptor expression.

This study shows that perinatal morphine exposure reduces social play in adolescent female rats, possibly due to altered oxytocin signaling in the nucleus accumbens.
