DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.08.038
Abstract: Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the periaqueductal gray (PAG) is used in the treatment of severe refractory neuropathic pain. We tested the hypothesis that DBS releases endogenous opioids to exert its analgesic effect using… read more here.

Abstract: Many songbirds sing in non-reproductive contexts while in flocks. Singing in such gregarious contexts is critical for maintaining and learning songs; however, song is not directed towards other individuals and has no obvious, immediate social… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001865
Abstract: The endogenous opioidergic system is critically involved in the cognitive modulation of pain. Slow-breathing based techniques are widely utilized non-pharmacological approaches to reduce pain, although the active mechanisms of actions supporting these practices are poorly… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.01842
Abstract: The present review summarizes the state of knowledge of endogenous opioids in birds. Endogenous opioid peptides acts in a neuromodulatory, hormonal and paracrine manner to mediate analgesic and other physiological functions. These peptides act through… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms222313056
Abstract: The melanocortin system is a major regulator of stress responses in the skin and is responsible for the induction of melanin synthesis through activation of melanogenesis enzymes. The expression of both melanocortin system genes and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073819
Abstract: Opioids are considered the oldest drugs known by humans and have been used for sedation and pain relief for several centuries. Nowadays, endogenous opioid peptides are divided into four families: enkephalins, dynorphins, endorphins, and nociceptin/orphanin… read more here.
