title: Opioid peptides, CRF, and urocortin in cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons in Xenopus laevis.
abstract: The presence of the opioids, beta-endorphin, met-enkephalin, and endomorphin, and of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and the CRF family member, urocortin (Ucn), is described in cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons in the brain of the amphibian, Xenopus laevis.
