The tale of a person and a peptide: Wylie W. Vale Jr. and the role of corticotropin- releasing factor in the stress response
(Elsevier Science PublisherAmsterdam, 2013-12)
The studies reviewed in this article certainly do not constitute the entire body of research conducted by Wylie Vale's group and his collaborators, they might constitute turning points in CRF research. In addition, the ...
The centrally projecting Edinger-Westphal nucleus-I: Efferents in the rat brain
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-10-01)
The oculomotor accessory nucleus, often referred to as the Edinger-Westphal nucleus [EW], was first identified in the 17th century. Although its most well known function is the control of pupil diameter, some controversy ...
Anatomical organization of urocortin 3-Synthesizing neurons and immunoreactive terminals in the central nervous system of non-human primates [Sapajus spp.]
(2017-07-24)
Urocortin 3 (UCN3) is a neuropeptide member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide family that acts as a selective endogenous ligand for the CRF, subtype 2 (CRF2) receptor. Immunohistochemistry and in situ ...
Contrasting effects of nitric oxide and corticotropin-releasing factor within the dorsal periaqueductal gray on defensive behavior and nociception in mice
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 2012-04-01)
The anxiogenic and antinociceptive effects produced by glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation within the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) matter have been related to nitric oxide (NO) production, since injection ...

Control of cardiovascular responses to stress by CRF in the bed nucleus of stria terminalis is mediated by local NMDA/nNOS/sGC/PKG signaling
(2018-03-01)
The aims of the present study were to assess an interaction of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) neurotransmission within the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) with local nitrergic signaling, as well as to ...
CRF1 and CRF2 receptors in the bed nucleus of stria terminalis differently modulate the baroreflex function in unanesthetized rats
(2017-07-01)
The baroreflex is an important blood pressure regulating mechanism. The bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) modulates the baroreflex function. However, the local BNST neurochemical mechanisms involved in control of ...
Stress, sex, and addiction: potential roles of corticotropin-releasing factor, oxytocin, and arginine-vasopressin
(Lippincott Williams, 2014-09)
Stress sensitivity and sex are predictive factors for the development of neuropsychiatric disorders. Life stresses are not only risk factors for the development of addiction but also are triggers for relapse to drug use. ...
Biomolecular information, brain activity and cognitive functions
(2007-12-01)
Molecular neurobiology has provided an explanation of mechanisms supporting mental functions as learning, memory, emotion and consciousness. However, an explanatory gap remains between two levels of description: molecular ...
Effects of glucose infusion on the endocrine, metabolic and cardiorespiratory responses to halothane anaesthesia of ponies
(1999-07-24)
Glucose was infused intravenously into six ponies during halothane anaesthesia, to evaluate its effect on their endocrine response to anaesthesia. The ponies were premedicated with acepromazine, and anaesthesia was induced ...
