... immunoreactivity. Neonatal stress increased KOR-P labeling in wild-type brains (p < 0.05), but not in Pdyn –/– animals. Mice exposed to stress and morphine showed region-specific increases in KOR-P immunoreactivity from 38 to 500% (p < 0.05 to p < 0.001), with marked gliosis. In stressed morphine-treated...

... brain development. Using a rat model combining neonatal stress and morphine, we found that neonatal morphine impaired adult learning. Here we describe a new mouse model examining lasting effects of neonatal stress and morphine. Objective: We tested whether repeated neonatal stress and/or morphine...
