Endogenous opioids regulate social threat learning in humans
Many fearful expectations are shaped by observation of aversive outcomes to others. Yet, the neurochemistry regulating social learning is unknown. Previous research has shown that during direct (Pavlovian) threat learning, information about personally experienced outcomes is regulated by the release of endogenous opioids, and activity within the amygdala and periaqueductal gray (PAG). Here we r...
متن کاملEndogenous opioids and baroreflex control in humans.
We describe two studies designed to elucidate the role of endogenous opioids in blood pressure control in humans. In the first study, nine normal subjects received infusions of DAMME (a metenkephalin analog), naloxone, or saline, and blood pressure, heart rate, and plasma norepinephrine concentration were determined supine and following 5 minutes of 70 degrees head-up tilt at intervals for 6 ho...
متن کاملFeeding Releases Endogenous Opioids in Humans.
The endogenous opioid system supports a multitude of functions related to appetitive behavior in humans and animals, and it has been proposed to govern hedonic aspects of feeding thus contributing to the development of obesity. Here we used positron emission tomography to investigate whether feeding results in hedonia-dependent endogenous opioid release in humans. Ten healthy males were recruit...
متن کاملEndogenous opioids regulate moment-to-moment neuronal communication and excitability
Fear and emotional learning are modulated by endogenous opioids but the cellular basis for this is unknown. The intercalated cells (ITCs) gate amygdala output and thus regulate the fear response. Here we find endogenous opioids are released by synaptic stimulation to act via two distinct mechanisms within the main ITC cluster. Endogenously released opioids inhibit glutamate release through the ...
متن کاملIntergroup threat gates social attention in humans.
Humans shift their attention to follow another person's gaze direction, a phenomenon called gaze cueing. This study examined whether a particular social factor, intergroup threat, modulates gaze cueing. As expected, stronger responses of a particular in-group to a threatening out-group were observed when the in-group, conditioned to perceive threat from one of two out-groups, was presented with...
