Intra spinal administration of Netrin-1 promotes locomotor recovery after complete spinal cord transection
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2021-08)
Complete spinal cord lesions interrupt the connection of all axonal projections with their neuronal targets below and above the lesion site. In particular, the interruption of connections with the neurons at lumbar segments ...
Effect of Environmental Conditions and Toxic Compounds on the Locomotor Activity of Pediculus humanus capitis (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2015)
Ghrelin Recruits Specific Subsets of Dopamine and GABA Neurons of Different Ventral Tegmental Area Sub-nuclei
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11)
Ghrelin is a stomach-derived hormone that regulates rewarding behaviors and reinforcement by acting on the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The VTA is a complex midbrain structure mainly comprised of dopamine (DA) and ...
Cocaine-induced locomotor activity and cocaine discrimination in dopamine D4 receptor mutant mice
(Springer, 2003-10)
Rationale: Previous studies have found a role for dopamine D 2-like receptors in many of the behavioral effects of cocaine, including its stimulation of locomotor activity and interoceptive discriminative-stimulus effects. ...
Cocaine-induced locomotor activity and cocaine discrimination in dopamine D2 receptor mutant mice
(Springer, 2002-08)
Rationale: Dopamine (DA) D2-like antagonists block several effects of cocaine, including its locomotor stimulant and interoceptive discriminative-stimulus effects. Because these compounds generally lack selectivity among ...
Pharmacological characterization of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor on ethanol-mediated motivational effects in infant and adolescent rats
(Elsevier Science, 2016-02-01)
Activation of nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors attenuates ethanol drinking and prevents relapse in adult rodents. In younger rodents (i.e., infant rats), activation of NOP receptors blocks ethanol-induced locomotor ...
Naloxone and Baclofen Attenuate Ethanol's locomotor-activating effects in preweanling Sprague-Dawley Rats
(American Psychological Association, 2009-02)
Heterogeneous rat strains appear to be particularly sensitive to the sedative effects of ethanol as adults and insensitive to ethanol's stimulant effects. Recently, the authors found that ethanol induces stimulant effects ...
Spatial Repellency Caused by Volatile Pyrethroids is Olfactory-Mediated in the German Cockroach Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2019-10)
Pyrethroids are synthetic insecticides that have a repellent action. This effect has been associated with an increase in the locomotor activity, which causes the avoidance of the insecticide-treated area (excito-repellency). ...
Thermal biology and locomotor performance in Phymaturus calcogaster: are Patagonian lizards vulnerable to climate change?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-09)
Behavioral and physiological traits of ectotherms are especially sensitive to fluctuations of environmental temperature. In particular, niche-specialist lizards are dependent on their physiological plasticity to adjust to ...
Behavioural and toxicological responses of Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) to monoterpenes
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2012-10)
Certain monoterpenes produced by aromatic plants are known to have lethal and sublethal effects on insects. As there is a need to replace conventional pesticides (organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids) with biorational ...
