Description
In preparation for leaving natal streams and beginning ocean migration, coho salmon undergo a transformation that includes physiological and behavior changes called parr-smolt transformation. This study demonstrates the extensive and selective distribution of μ- and κ-opioid receptors and their change in ligand binding during parr-smolt transformation. It is the first study of opioid receptor subtypes in salmonid brains, and the first investigation of opioid receptors in the brain of a teleost during development.
