Schematic representation of opioid receptor modulation of DA release in the NAc shell. Activation of μ-opioid receptors on cholinergic interneurons suppresses ACh release and, in turn, decreases nAChR activity on DA terminals. κ-Opioid receptors are located directly on DA terminals where they suppress DA release directly, but their downstream effectors are unknown.
