Cerebellar structural and functional alterations during morphine self-administration are associated with motivation and disrupted goal-directed actions in male Wistar rats

This study shows that morphine self-administration in rats leads to cerebellar structural changes and altered functional connectivity, associated with disrupted goal-directed behavior and increased motivation.

Morphine self-administration induces region-specific brain volume changes and microglial phenotypic alterations without affecting neuronal density in male Wistar rats

The effect of chronic stress and chronic alcohol intake on behavior, brain structure, and functional connectivity in a rat model

This study examines the combined effects of chronic stress and ethanol intake on brain structure, function, and behavior in rats, finding sex-dependent impacts on brain volume and connectivity.
