Studies using intermittent access drug self-administration show increased motivation to take and seek cocaine and fentanyl, relative to continuous access. In this study, we examined the effects of intermittent- and continuous access self-administration on heroin intake, patterns of self-administration, and cue-induced heroin seeking, after forced or voluntary abstinence, in male and female rats. We also modeled brain levels of heroin and its active metabolites. Rats were trained to self-administer a palatable solution and then heroin (0.075 mg/kg/inf) either continuously (6-h/d; 10 d) or intermittently (6-h/d; 5-min access/30-min; 10 d). Brain levels of heroin and its metabolites were modeled using a pharmacokinetic software. Next, heroin-seeking was assessed after 1 or 21 abstinence days. Between tests, rats underwent either forced or voluntary abstinence. The estrous cycle was measured using a vaginal smear test. Intermittent access exacerbated heroin self-administration and was characterized by a burst-like intake, yielding higher brain peaks of heroin and 6-monoacetylmorphine concentrations. Moreover, intermittent access increased cue-induced heroin-seeking during early, but not late abstinence. Heroin-seeking was higher in females after intermittent, but not continuous access and this effect was independent of the estrous cycle. Intermittent heroin access in rats resembles critical features of heroin use disorder: a self-administration pattern characterized by repeated large doses of heroin and higher relapse vulnerability during early abstinence. This has significant implications for refining animal models of substance use disorder and for better understanding of the neuroadaptations responsible for this disorder.
