Opioid peptides are tiny proteins that function as neuromodulators by interacting with four 'classical' opioid receptors on the surface of CNS cells. According to the researchers, they play a crucial role in arbitrating pain relief. Additionally, it also controls emotions such as stress, anxiety, euphoria, and depression.The head of Immuno-Pharmacology and Interactomics at LIH, Dr. Andy Chevigné, and his crew looked at findings from...…>Jun 20, 2020 01:22 AM EDTAs a result, the analgesic and anti-anxiety activities brought about by these peptides are then diminished, their study finds.

In the study, the scientists discovered that the molecular composition and number of synapses alters with age in various parts of the brain.Furthermore, the change happens in three essential phases, namely childhood, middle-age, and elderly age. In the findings, figures from middle-aged brains burst with color, indicating an immense assortment of synapses.
