Role of Opioid Ligands in the Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Enrico Corazziari

“…Endogenous opioid peptides – enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphins – are located in specific sites of the brain, the spinal cord, the autonomic ganglia and the enteric nervous system. Endogenous opioids participate in the regulation of nervous visceral afference and sensitivity as well as of several visceral motor function induced by the central nervous system and through the enteroenteric and the myoenteric reflexes. …”

Effect of Phenylephrine on the Accommodative System by José J. Esteve-Taboada, Antonio J. Del Águila-Carrasco, Paula Bernal-Molina, Teresa Ferrer-Blasco, Norberto López-Gil, Robert Montés-Micó

“…Accommodation is controlled by the action of the ciliary muscle and mediated primarily by parasympathetic input through postganglionic fibers that originate from neurons in the ciliary and pterygopalatine ganglia. During accommodation the pupil constricts to increase the depth of focus of the eye and improve retinal image quality. …”

Neurobiological Mechanism of Acupuncture for Relieving Visceral Pain of Gastrointestinal Origin by Fang Zhang, Luyi Wu, Jimeng Zhao, Tingting Lv, Zhihai Hu, Zhijun Weng, Shuoshuo Wang, Huangan Wu, Huirong Liu

“…The generation of pain involves a series of processes, including energy transduction of stimulatory signals in the sensory nerve endings (signal transduction), subsequent conduction in primary afferent nerve fibers of dorsal root ganglia, and transmission to spinal dorsal horn neurons, the ascending transmission of sensory signals in the central nervous system, and the processing of sensory signals in the cerebral cortex. …”
