Article Synopsis
- Drug addicts often relapse due to memories linked to drug experiences, and therapies targeting memory reconsolidation could help break this cycle.
- This study examines whether altering the endocannabinoid system affects the reconsolidation of memories associated with opioid use in rats.
- Results indicate that blocking CB1 receptors impaired the reconsolidation of morphine-related memories, while activating cannabinoid receptors had little impact, although enhancing endocannabinoid signaling showed a temporary effect.
