摘要

Relapse to opioid use during abstinence is often triggered by drug-associated cues but the persistence of this effect during prolonged abstinence is unknown. Using a rat model, we found that relapse provoked by heroin-predictive discriminative stimuli persisted for over one year of abstinence, suggesting enduring, potentially lifelong opioid relapse vulnerability.
