Zhang JJ, Song CG, Dai JM, Li L, Yang XM, Chen ZN (2022) Mechanism of opioid addiction and its intervention therapy: Focusing on the reward circuitry and mu-opioid receptor. MedComm 3(3):e148. doi: 10.1002/mco2.148 PMID: 35774845

Objective: To examine the mechanism of opioid addiction, with a specific focus on the reward circuitry and the role of the mu-opioid receptor, and to explore potential intervention therapies.

Summary: The authors discuss the neurobiological processes underlying addiction and highlight the importance of understanding these mechanisms in developing effective intervention therapies for opioid addiction.
