Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opiates work by stimulating the body's natural opioid receptors, which includes endorphins. Endorphins are natural pain-relieving neurotransmitters found in the brain that can produce feelings of pleasure and euphoria when activated by opiates. GABA and anandamide are not directly involved in the opioid response, while dopamine is involved more with reward and motivation, rather than pain relief or euphoria.
