Relapse is precipitated by cravings for the euphoric, rewarding effects of opioids as well as a desire to alleviate physical and emotional pain. Cravings can be triggered by external cues and negative emotional states associated with previous drug use. Identifying the neuronal mechanisms that underlie cue-induced cravings is critical for developing treatments that can prevent relapse. In this dissertation, I describe pathological behavioral and neuronal plasticity that emerges during abstinence from chronic prescription opioid use and contributes to heightened responding for opioid-associated cues. 000010134 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000010134 650__ $$aOpioid-Related Disorders$$022689 000010134 650__ $$aNucleus Accumbens$$023067 000010134 650__ $$aGlutamates$$019605 000010134 650__ $$aNeuronal Plasticity$$022857 000010134 650__ $$aSelf Administration$$025838 000010134 6531_ $$aopioids 000010134 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000010134 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000010134 7001_ $$aEngeln, Kimberley A. 000010134 8564_ $$925789ff8-775f-4b27-a665-c81de3f2bbc8$$s2317111$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10134/files/Engeln.Kim.2023.pdf 000010134 905__ $$a/rest/prod/k3/56/95/09/k35695096 000010134 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10134$$pstudent-work 000010134 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
