Inhibition of Enkephalin Metabolism and Activation of Mu-opioid Or Delta-opioid Receptors Elicit Opposite Effects On Reward and Motility in the Ventral Mesencephalon

Description : The coexistence of endogenous opioid systems and dopaminergic neurones in the midbrain tegmental area suggests functional interactions between dopamine and enkephalins. Nevertheless, the identification of the specific opioid receptors associated with modulation of tegmental dopamine activity and its...
