Supervised and unsupervised learning reveal heroin-induced impairments in astrocyte structural plasticity.

Science advances
Astrocytes regulate synaptic activity across large brain territories via their complex, interconnected morphology. Emerging evidence supports the involvement of astrocytes in shaping relapse to opioid use through morphological rearrangements in the n...

Machine Learning Analysis of the Orbitofrontal Cortex Transcriptome of Human Opioid Users Identifies Shisa7 as a Translational Target Relevant for Heroin Seeking Leveraging a Male Rat Model.

Biological psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Identifying neurobiological targets predictive of the molecular neuropathophysiological signature of human opioid use disorder (OUD) could expedite new treatments. OUD is characterized by dysregulated cognition and goal-directed behavior ...

The Detection of Opioid Misuse and Heroin Use From Paramedic Response Documentation: Machine Learning for Improved Surveillance.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Timely, precise, and localized surveillance of nonfatal events is needed to improve response and prevention of opioid-related problems in an evolving opioid crisis in the United States. Records of naloxone administration found in prehospi...

A computational strategy for finding novel targets and therapeutic compounds for opioid dependence.

PloS one
Opioids are widely used for treating different types of pains, but overuse and abuse of prescription opioids have led to opioid epidemic in the United States. Besides analgesic effects, chronic use of opioid can also cause tolerance, dependence, and ...

Exchanging expertise and constructing boundaries: The development of a transnational knowledge network around heroin-assisted treatment.

The International journal on drug policy
Over the last 20 years, supervised injectable and inhalable heroin prescribing has been developed, tested and in some cases introduced as a second line treatment for limited groups of entrenched heroin users in a number of European countries and Cana...
