Opiate Receptors	The opiate receptor and other brain receptors are proteins located on the surfaces of nerve cells, or neurons. The brain works through neurons communicating with each other by releasing signaling chemicals called neurotransmitters. These chemicals attach to receptors on nearby neurons the way a key fits a lock. Opiates bind spcifically to opiate receptors.
