What is Opiates Boost Hypocretin Neurons in Addiction about?

This research article investigates the effects of opiates on hypocretin-producing neurons in the brains of heroin addicts and mice. It finds that heroin addicts have, on average, 54% more hypocretin neurons compared to control subjects, and long-term morphine administration in mice similarly increases these neurons. The study suggests that opiate agonists may play a role in treating narcolepsy and highlights the potential link between increased hypocretin cells and the maintenance of opiate addiction.
