Dichotomous Effects of Mu Opioid Receptor Activation on Striatal Low-Threshold Spike Interneurons
Striatal low-threshold spike interneurons (LTSIs) are tonically active neurons that express GABA and nitric oxide synthase and are involved in information processing as well as neurovascular coupling. While mu opioid receptors (MORs) and their ligand encephalin are prominent in the striatum, their a...
