Abstract
It is still unclear how neuronal metabolism is affected by opioids. We developed a multimodal nonlinear optical imaging platform that can resolve single neurons while monitoring endogenous metabolic molecules in a label-free manner. These capabilities enable investigation of morphine-induced metabolic changes in neurons. Additionally, mouse brain slices were used to study the effects of morphine on metabolism in the brain. We found that after morphine exposure, the nucleus accumbens area showed increased metabolic activity compared to the cerebral cortex. Further studies will reveal how opioids alter the metabolism of the brain and individual neurons at the sub-cellular level.
