Opiates bond to µ-opioid (mu) receptors located on the subsynaptic membrane of neurons in the spinal cord and brain that are involved in the transmission of pain impulses. These neurons would normally have pain impulses suppressed by the release of enkephalins such as [met]enkephalin and [leu]enkephalin.

What is the nerve that sends signals from inner ear to the brain?
auditory nerve
What nerve is responsible for visual signals to the brain?
optic nerve
Does your brain have nerve endings?
No, the brain itself does not have nerve endings. Nerve endings are found in other parts of the body, such as the skin, that send signals to the brain.
Do your ears connect to your brain?
There is a cranial nerve called the vestibulocochlear nerve which connects your inner ear to your brain stem.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
How do brain cells respond to an opiate?
there are places on certain nerve cells that recongnize opiates
What messages the eye to the brain?
The optic nerve carries signals from the eyes to the brain.
The signals generated by the rods and cones are carried to your brain by the?
Signals generated by rods and cones are carried to the brain by the optic nerve. This nerve transmits visual information from the retina to the brain's visual centers, where it is processed and interpreted to create a visual perception.
When you smell does it go to the spine or the brain?
definitely the brain. The olfactory nerve transmits the signals straight to brain.
What does the optic nerve for the human eye do?
The optic nerve carries signals (images) from the retina to the brain.
What is a short thick nerve throgh which signals travel to the brain from the eye called?
optic nerve
