A dopamine D1 receptor agonist improved learning and memory in morphine-treated rats.

CONCLUSION: (1) The PAG is involved in the learning and memory changes of the addicted rats; (2) the activation of DA D1 receptor will increase the GAD67, reduce the damage to peripheral neurons, and improve the learning and memory of the addicted rats; and (3) D1 receptor agonists further reduced TrkB expression in morphine-addicted rats, whereas TrkB levels deviated from changes in rat behavior.
