Synapse-specific opioid modulation of thalamo-cortico-striatal circuits

Synapse-specific opioid modulation of thalamo-cortico-striatal circuits

The medial thalamus (MThal), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and striatum play important roles in affective-motivational pain processing and reward learning. Opioids affect both pain and reward through uncharacterized modulation of this circuitry. This study examined opioid actions on glutamate tran...
