1 Acute or chronic morphine and cocaine administration increased NMDAR1 mRNA level in the central and basolateral nuclei of the amygdala; morphine did so 3 h after the last dose and 48 h after withdrawal, cocaine 3 h after acute and last chronic dose. Morphine glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Our study suggests a possible link between the expression of NMDAR1 and changes in limbic system neuronal activity and behaviour after administration of morphine and cocaine. Morphine glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 In summary, the present study demonstrated that morphine and cocaine influenced the expression of NMDAR1 in the structure of the limbic system which could be involved in dependence phenomena. Morphine glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1 Rattus norvegicus
