Endogenous opiates: 1981

This paper is the fourth of an annual series reviewing the research concerning the endogenous opiate peptides. This installment covers only work published during 1981 and attempts to provide a comprehensive, but not exhaustive, survey of the area. Previous papers in the series have dealt with research done before 1981. Topics concerning endogenous opiates reviewed here include a delineation of their receptors, their distribution, their precursors and degradation, behavioral effects resulting from their administration, their possible involvement in physiological responses, and their interactions with other peptides and hormones. Due to the burgeoning literature in this field, the comprehensive nature of this review in the future will be limited to considerations of behavioral phenomena related to the endogenous opiates.     

Endogenous opiates: 1982

This article is the fifth installment in an annual series of reviews of successive year's research dealing with the endogenous opiate peptides. Due to the continuing massive increase in the number of studies in this field, it has become impossible to continue comprehensive reviews of all aspects of this work. As a result we have decided that beginning this year the coverage will be abbreviated to emphasize non-analgesic and behavioral work. The specific areas discussed include stress, tolerance and dependence, consummatory responses, alcohol consumption, schizophrenia and emotional disorders, learning and memory, cardiovascular responses, respiratory effects, thermoregulatory effects, neurological deficits and other disorders, activity, and other, miscellaneous behaviors. As in previous years, we have attempted a relatively comprehensive review of the subjects covered only for the previous year and have not made an attempt to evaluate their contributions relative to those of past years.     

Endogenous opiates: 1983

This paper is the sixth in an annual series of reviews of research involving the endogenous opiates, each installment being restricted to work published during the previous year. Although the early articles in the series attempted to be comprehensive and cover the complete range of research with the opiate peptides, in the last two years we have limited our coverage to non-analgesic and behavioral work due to the enormous number of articles published in the field. The specific areas discussed here include stress, tolerance and dependence, consummatory responses, other gastrointestinal functions, interactions with alcohol, mental illness, learning and memory, cardiovascular responses, respiratory effects, thermoregulation, neurological disorders, activity, and miscellaneous other topics. As in previous years, we have attempted to present a relatively complete review of the subjects covered only for the previous year and generally have not tried to evaluate their contributions relative to those of past years.
