The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is widely implicated as a structure that integrates
both appetitive and aversive stimuli. While intrinsic CeA microcircuits primarily consist of …

CART is expressed abundantly in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and locus
coeruleus, major corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and noradrenaline sources …

The role of dopamine in cocaine misuse has been extensively documented for the
mesocorticolimbic circuit. Preclinical work from earlier lesion studies to recent …

We investigated the effect of cocaine-and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptide
on depression-like behavior in socially isolated and olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) rats …

The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is a key hub of the neural circuitry regulating
alcohol and stress interactions. However, the exact neuronal populations that govern this …

CART (Cocaine-Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript) has been shown to be regulated by
corticosteroids in the hypothalamus, but its regulation by corticosteroids and stress has not …

Background: The hypothalamus harbors high levels of cholinergic neurons and axon
terminals. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which play an important role in cholinergic …

The intensity of muscle contraction, and therefore movement vigor, needs to be adaptable to
enable complex motor behaviors. This can be achieved by adjusting the properties of motor …

The aim of the study was to assess appetitive responses and central dopaminergic
neurotransmission in passive and active rats divided according to their immobility time in the …

CART mRNA and peptides are highly expressed in the anatomical structures composing the
hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympatho-adrenal system. Anatomical and …
