Use of one addictive drug typically influences the behavioral response to other drugs, either administered at the same time or a subsequent time point. The nature of the drugs being used, as well as the timing and dosing, also influence how these drugs interact. Here, we tested the effects of adolescent THC exposure on the development of morphine-induced behavioral adaptations following repeated morphine exposure during adulthood. We found that adolescent THC administration paradoxically prevented the development of anxiety-related behaviors that emerge during a forced abstinence period following morphine administration but facilitated reinstatement of morphine CPP. Following forced abstinence, we then mapped the whole-brain response to a moderate dose of morphine and found that adolescent THC administration led to an overall increase in brain-wide neuronal activity and increased the functional connectivity between frontal cortical regions and the ventral tegmental area. Last, we show using rabies virus-based circuit mapping that adolescent THC exposure triggers a long-lasting elevation in connectivity from the frontal cortex regions onto ventral tegmental dopamine cells. Our study adds to the rich literature on the interaction between drugs, including THC and opioids, and provides potential neural substates by which adolescent THC exposure influences responses to morphine later in life.
