http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_Opioid_receptor

"Kappa agonism is neuroprotective against hypoxia/ischemia; as such, kappa receptors may represent a novel therapeutic target."

does this mean that kappa agonism is something the brain naturally relies on to protect itself, perhaps just from everyday stuff and not stuff as blatantly harmful and obvious as hypoxia? could there be risks associated with interrupting kappa agonism in the brain? might it even possibly be neurodegenerative?
