Morphine, the prototypical opioid analgesic drug, produces its behavioural effects primarily through activation of μ-opioid receptors expressed in neurones of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This perspective provides a historical view of how, over the past 40 years, the use of electrophysiological recording techniques has helped to reveal the molecular mechanisms by which acute and chronic activation of μ-opioid receptors by morphine and other opioid drugs modify neuronal function.

吗啡作为典型的阿片类镇痛药物,其行为效应主要通过激活中枢和外周神经系统神经元中表达的μ-阿片受体产生。这种观点提供了一个历史视角,展示了在过去40年里,电生理记录技术的应用如何有助于揭示吗啡和其他阿片类药物对μ-阿片受体的急性和慢性激活改变神经元功能的分子机制。
