The microbiome’s influence on the neurobiology of opioid addiction and brain connectivity
The implications suggest the microbiome has a direct impact on the development of reward seeking behavior. With the widespread number of opioid receptors found in the gut, studying the interaction between the microbiota and substance use disorder may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to the development of addiction as well as potential treatments.
