## Abstract The present in vitro autoradiography study demonstrates that prenatal exposure to morphine alters the density of μ‐opioid receptors in the hippocampus of adult female but not adult male rats. Prenatal morphine exposure increased the μ‐opioid receptor density in the CA1 of ovariectomized
