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 ...

Systematic review of Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase evidence for pharmacogenomic links to the dopamine reward pathway for heroin dependence.

Pharmacogenomics
Genetics play an important role in opioid use disorder (OUD); however, few specific gene variants have been identified. Therefore, there is a need to further understand the pharmacogenomics influences on the pharmacodynamics of opioids. The Pharmacog...

Machine learning: assessing neurovascular signals in the prefrontal cortex with non-invasive bimodal electro-optical neuroimaging in opiate addiction.

Scientific reports
Chronic and recurrent opiate use injuries brain tissue and cause serious pathophysiological changes in hemodynamic and subsequent inflammatory responses. Prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in drug addiction. However, the mechanism underlying...

Machine-learning identifies substance-specific behavioral markers for opiate and stimulant dependence.

Drug and alcohol dependence
BACKGROUND: Recent animal and human studies reveal distinct cognitive and neurobiological differences between opiate and stimulant addictions; however, our understanding of the common and specific effects of these two classes of drugs remains limited...

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...
