Determination of circuit-specific morphological adaptations in ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons by chronic morphine
Abstract Chronic opiate exposure induces neuroadaptations in the mesocorticolimbic system including ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons, whose soma size is decreased following opiate exposure. Yet it is now well documented that VTA DA neurons are heterogeneous, with notable difference...
