searching, searching, searching.... bingo!

looking for articles on opioid neurotransmitters is not easy since i don't know much about receptors and i can't figure out if it can be useful to R or the other team members. oh well, it's still worth a shot! i hope everything is going well with the other team members. :)

happy thanksgiving everyone!
