The principal features and mechanisms of dopamine modulation in the prefrontal cortex
JK Seamans, CR Yang - Progress in neurobiology, 2004 - Elsevier
Mesocotical dopamine (DA) inputs to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) play a crtical role in normal
cognitive process and neuropsychiatic pathologies. This DA input regulates aspects of …

Ventral tegmental area dopamine revisited: effects of acute and repeated stress
Aversive events rapidly and potently excite certain dopamine neurons in the ventral
tegmental area (VTA), promoting phasic increases in the medial prefrontal cortex and …

The neurobiology and control of anxious states
MJ Millan - Progress in neurobiology, 2003 - Elsevier
Fear is an adaptive component of the acute “stress” response to potentially-dangerous
(external and internal) stimuli which threaten to perturb homeostasis. However, when …

Aging, plasticity and environmental enrichment: structural changes and neurotransmitter dynamics in several areas of the brain
F Mora, G Segovia, A del Arco - Brain research reviews, 2007 - Elsevier
Cajal was probably the first neurobiologist to suggest that plasticity of nerve cells almost
completely disappeared during aging. However, we know today that neural plasticity is still …

Stress, neurotransmitters, corticosterone and body–brain integration
F Mora, G Segovia, A Del Arco, M de Blas, P Garrido - Brain research, 2012 - Elsevier
Stress can be defined as a brain–body reaction towards stimuli arising from the environment
or from internal cues that are interpreted as a disruption of homeostasis. The organization of …

Neuromodulation in Tourette syndrome: dopamine and beyond
Almost since the beginning of research on Tourette syndrome (TS), tics have been linked to
a dysfunction of the dopamine (DA) system. At first, this assumption was mainly based on …

The somatodendritic release of dopamine in the ventral tegmental area and its regulation by afferent transmitter systems
The release of dopamine in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) plays an important role in the
autoinhibition of the dopamine neurons of the mesocorticolimbic system through the …

Isolation rearing-induced deficits in sensorimotor gating and social interaction in rats are related to cortico-striatal oxidative stress, and reversed by sub-chronic …
Social isolation rearing (SIR) in rats induces behavioral and glutamatergic changes akin to
schizophrenia. We studied the effects of 8weeks SIR on cortico-striatal redox and social and …

Environmental enrichment, prefrontal cortex, stress, and aging of the brain
As a result of living in an enriched environment, the brain of animals undergoes molecular
and morphological changes leading to improvements in learning and memory. These …
