Opiates, endorphins and the developing organism: a comprehensive bibliography.
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews
|January 1, 1982
Summary
This bibliography compiles 1378 references on opiates and endorphins in the developing organism, from 1875 to present. It provides indexed clinical and laboratory data for researchers studying opioid effects on development.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Developmental Biology
- Pharmacology
Context:
- Opioid and endorphin research is critical for understanding developmental impacts.
- A significant body of literature exists on these substances' effects on developing organisms.
- Accessibility to this historical and current research is often fragmented.
Purpose:
- To create a comprehensive, indexed bibliography of literature on opiates, endorphins, and the developing organism.
- To consolidate 1378 clinical and laboratory references dating back to 1875.
- To enhance literature accessibility through detailed indexing.
Summary:
- Presents a bibliography of 1378 clinical and laboratory references on opiates and endorphins in developing organisms.
- Citations span from 1875 to the present.
- Includes indexed clinical (age, maternal, fetal, withdrawal, offspring effects) and laboratory (opiate/endorphin type, species, subject areas) topics.
Impact:
- Facilitates easier access to a vast collection of research on opioid and endorphin effects during development.
- Supports researchers in neuroscience, pharmacology, and developmental biology.
- Provides a foundational resource for future studies on neurodevelopmental impacts of endogenous and exogenous opioids.
