Facilitating mGluR4 activity reverses the long-term deleterious consequences of chronic morphine exposure in male mice

Jerome A. J. Becker et al.

Summary: The study identifies mGluR4 as a promising pharmacological target for alleviating the consequences of morphine withdrawal and highlights neurobiological differences between opiate and psychostimulant abstinence. Pharmacological repression of excessive activity of D2-MSNs in the NAc is suggested as a promising therapeutic approach in drug addiction.

The effect of the mGlu8 receptor agonist, (S)-3,4-DCPG on acquisition and expression of morphine-induced conditioned place preference in male rats

Nazanin Kahvandi et al.

Summary: The study found that administration of the mGlu8 receptor agonist S-3,4-DCPG in the NAc dose-dependently reduced the acquisition phase of morphine-induced CPP, but had no effect on the expression phase.
