Abstract

Long-term use of opioid drugs such as morphine can induce addiction in the central nervous system through dysregulation of the reward system of the brain. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a non-pharmacological technique capable of attenuating behavioral responses associated with opioid drug consumption and possesses the capability to selectively activate and target localized brain regions with a high spatial resolution. However, long-term implantation of electrodes in brain tissue may limit the effectiveness of DBS due to changes in impedance, position, and shape of the tip of the stimulation electrode and the risk of infection of nerve tissue around the implanted electrode. The main objective of the current study is to evaluate the effect of temporal interference (TI) brain stimulation on addictive behaviors of morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in rats. TI stimulation is a non-invasive technique used transcranially to modulate neural activity within targeted brain regions. It involves applying two high-frequency currents with slightly different frequencies, resulting in interference and targeted stimulation of different brain areas with the desired spatial resolution. The results indicated that TI stimulation with the amplitude of I1=I2=0.5 mA, carrier frequency of 2 kHz, frequency difference of 25 Hz, ON–OFF stimulation frequency of 0.25 Hz, and total duration of 10 min in three consecutive days resulted in a significant reduction of morphine preference in the morphine-stimulation group in comparison with the morphine group (p < 0.001). These findings highlight the potential of TI stimulation as a modulatory intervention in mitigating the addictive properties of morphine and provide valuable insights into the therapeutic implications of this stimulation paradigm for treatment of opioid drugs in human subjects. © The Author(s) 2024.
