[HTML][HTML] Endogenous opioids regulate moment-to-moment neuronal communication and excitability

BL Winters, GC Gregoriou, SA Kissiwaa… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Fear and emotional learning are modulated by endogenous opioids but the cellular basis
for this is unknown. The intercalated cells (ITCs) gate amygdala output and thus regulate the …
