Opioid Receptor-Mediated Regulation of Neurotransmission in the Brain

Opioid Receptor-Mediated Regulation of Neurotransmission in the Brain

Opioids mediate their effects via opioid receptors: mu, delta, and kappa. At the neuronal level, opioid receptors are generally inhibitory, presynaptically reducing neurotransmitter release and postsynaptically hyperpolarizing neurons. However, opioid receptor-mediated regulation of neuronal functio...
