Opioids and Neural Development Timeline
Excess opioids - can inhibit and delay growth.
Opioid receptor blockade - can transiently accelerate growth.
By inhibiting maturation, opioids decelerate the pace of development among overlapping populations of neurons and glia within specific brain regions. In the absence of opioids, there is some evidence that critical periods may become abbreviated and some developmental events may have insufficient time for completion—resulting in an increased likelihood of errors.
