Opioid use disorder (OUD) affects millions of people, causing nearly 50 000 deaths annually in the United States. While opioid exposure and OUD are known to cause widespread transcriptomic and epigenetic changes, few studies in human samples have been conducted. Understanding how OUD affects the brain at the molecular level could help decipher disease pathogenesis and shed light on OUD treatment.
