Opioid receptor distribution, light micrograph. Autoradiographic visualization with dark-field illumination of mu opioid receptor distribution in a horizontal brain section from a rat. White areas show intricate patterns of opioid receptor distribution in well-defined brain areas. These include the olfactory bulb, the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, the striatum, the thalamus, and the tectum. Receptors are marked by deuterated naloxone binding, followed by autoradiographic visualization of emulsion-coated brain sections.
