Summary
This paper discusses the role of the endogenous opioid peptide, β-endorphin, in the mammalian retina and its influence on the light-evoked signaling of retinal neurons that express µ-opioid receptors (MORs).
Categories
Eye health: The paper investigates the presence and influence of the endogenous opioid peptide, β-endorphin, in the mammalian retina, contributing to the understanding of eye health.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores the role of β-endorphin in light-evoked signaling of retinal neurons, which could potentially impact cognitive function and memory.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of β-endorphin, a hormone, in the mammalian retina and its potential influence on light-evoked signaling of retinal neurons.
