“…GABA-ergic mechanisms might also be connected with opiate, ethanol, and barbiturate actions and tolerance in various vertebrates, including man [see, e.g., Barker and McBurney, 1979;Mandel and DeFeudis, 1979;DeFeudis and Orensanz-MuBoz, 1980;DeFeudis and Mandel, 1981;Krogsgaard-Larsen, 19811. Regarding the actions of opiate analgesics (e.g., morphine) and their antagonists (e.g., naloxone, nalorphine), it should be recalled that several neurotransmitters other than GABA have been implicated (e.g., acetylcholine (ACh), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), S-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT); see, e.g. [Johanneson, 1967;Harris, 1970;Sparkes and Spencer, 1971;Pollard et al, 1977;Sugrue, 1979;Yaksh, 1979;Brase, 1979;Snelgar and Vogt, 1981;Fan et al, 1981;Mennini et al, 1981;Seltzer et a]., 19811). Also, with the discovery of the endogenous opioid peptides (e.g., enkephalins, endorphins; see, e.g.…”
