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), 2014)
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 ...
A panic attack-like unusual stress reaction
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-11-01)
Ever since the seminal studies of Hans Selye, activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is emblematic of stress. Consequently, the lack of HPA axis responses following the undisputable psychological stress ...
The Edinger-Westphal nucleus II: Hypothalamic afferents in the rat
(2013-05-13)
Numerous functions have been attributed to the Edinger-Westphal nucleus (EW), including those related to feeding behavior, pain control, alcohol consumption and the stress response. The EW is thought to consist of two ...
Dorsomedial hypothalamus CRF type 1 receptors selectively modulate inhibitory avoidance responses in the elevated T-maze
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-09-01)
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) plays a critical role in the mediation of physiological and behavioral responses to stressors. in the present study, we investigated the role played by the CRF system within the dorsomedial ...
Urocortin in the central nervous system of a primate (Cebus apella): Sequencing, immunohistochemical, and hybridization histochemical characterization
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003-08-18)
The urocortin (UCN)-like immunoreactivity and UCN mRNA distribution in various regions of the nonprimate mammalian brain have been reported. However, the Edinger-Westphal nucleus (EW) appears to be the only brain site where ...
Cell-mediated and humoral immunity in West syndrome
(1981-01-01)
The immunological status of five children with West syndrome consequent to previous cerebral lesions was investigated. Three children had West syndrome and two were in transition from West to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. All ...
