Behav Neurosci . 2023 Dec; 138(1):59-71. PMID: 38127524
Drug exposure during adolescence, when the "reward" circuitry of the brain is developing, can permanently impact reward-related behavior into adulthood. Epidemiological studies show that opioid treatment during adolescence, such as...

Kinguyu D, Nti-Kyemereh L, Bonin J, Feustel P, Tram M, MacNamara K, et al.
J Neuroimmunol . 2023 Sep; 384:578204. PMID: 37774553
Opioids have long been used for clinical pain management, but also have addictive properties that have contributed to the ongoing opioid epidemic. While opioid activation of opioid receptors is well...

Abi-Ghanem C, Salinero A, Kordit D, Mansour F, Kelly R, Venkataganesh H, et al.
Biol Sex Differ . 2023 May; 14(1):31. PMID: 37208759
Background: Damage to the cerebral vasculature can lead to vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). A reduction in blood flow to the brain leads to neuropathology, including neuroinflammation...

Kirkland J, Patel I, Kopec A
bioRxiv . 2023 May; PMID: 37205455
Adolescence is a period of copious neural development, particularly in the 'reward' circuitry of the brain, and reward-related behavioral development, including social development. One neurodevelopmental mechanism that appears to be...

bioRxiv . 2023 May; PMID: 37205376
Strong social support promotes a variety of positive health outcomes in humans and rodent models, while social isolation in rodents shortens lifespan, perceived social isolation (i.e. loneliness) can increase mortality...
