Relationship of presympathetic-premotor neurons to the serotonergic transmitter system in the rat brainstem
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-12-20)
Numerous physiological conditions and emotionally motivated behaviors require concomitant activation of somatomotor and sympathetic efferents. Using a virally mediated retrograde transsynaptic tract-tracing approach, we ...
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ and opioid receptor-like receptor mRNA expression in dopamine systems
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-03-19)
Although nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) influences dopamine (DA) neuronal activity, it is not known whether N/OFQ acts directly on DA neurons, indirectly by means of local circuitry, or both. We used two parallel approaches, ...
Social defeat alters the acquisition of cocaine self-administration in rats: role of individual differences in cocaine-taking behavior
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-12)
Rationale : It is known that social defeat can modulate cocaine self-administration. However, it is unclear whether this psychosocial stressor affects drug-taking behavior to the same extent across all individual animals, ...
Effects of contextual or olfactory cues previously paired with morphine withdrawal on behavior and pain sensitivity in the rat
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-08)
Rationale: Pavlovian conditioning processes have been accorded an important role in maintaining persistent opiate administration. At least one locus for this contribution is during opiate withdrawal. These experiments ...
