Connections between EM2-containing terminals and GABA/µ-opioid receptor co-expressing neurons in the rat spinal trigeminal caudal nucleus
Endomorphin-2 (EM2) demonstrates a potent antinociceptive effect via the µ-opioid receptor (MOR). To provide morphological evidence for the pain control effect of EM2, the synaptic connections between EM2-immunoreactive (IR) axonal terminals and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA)/ MOR co-expressing neurons...
