It has been established with brain slice experiments that opioid increases the excitability of hippocampal pyramidal cells (PC). This disinhibition, reportedly, occurs via Mu opioid receptor-mediated decrease in release of GABA from the hippocampal interneurons.
It begs further questions such as ..What will be the physiological relevance and avenues of occurrence for such a disinhibition? What could be pathological/physiological stimul(i). I look forward to discussion and knowing your ideas/thoughts on this!
Happy discussing!
