| Abstract | A possible mechanism underlying the role of opioids in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and L-dopa-induced dyskinesias is suggested. This role is based on the reorganization of neuronal firing in the motor cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loop as a consequence of opioid-mediated LTD induction in the spiny cells of the input basal ganglia nucleus, striatum. Analysis of existing data allowed us to propose that the striatonigral cells in the striosomes and matrix that release dynorphin mainly express μ and κ opioid receptors, respectively, whereas striatopallidal cells that release enkephalin express δ opioid receptors. The proposed mechanism implies that in addition to agonists of dopamine receptors and antagonists of muscarinic receptors, μ and δ receptor agonists and/or κ receptor antagonists might alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and allow recovery of locomotor activity. Recurrent collaterals of striatal spiny cells innervating their dendrites and bodies, as well as those of striatal cholinergic interneurons, form negative feedback loops that allow opioid peptides and substance P to regulate and stabilize striatal output pathways. Therefore, in the absence of activation of the D2 and D1 receptors on striatal spiny cells, increased enkephalin concentration and decreased dynorphin and substance P level promote the suppression of acetylcholine release (due to modulation of cholinergic interneuron firing through κ opioid and NK receptors), thus reducing the impact of a dopamine deficit on basal ganglia functioning. Opposing changes in opioid concentrations, due to L-dopa treatment and reorganization of activity in the same neuronal loops, may reduce dyskinesias. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
