The medial forebrain bundle mediates cardiovascular responses to electrical stimulation of the medial prefrontal cortex
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is involved in cardiovascular control. MPFC electrical stimulation has been reported to cause depressor and bradycardic responses in anesthetized rats. Although the pathway involved is ...
Cardiovascular effects of L-glutamate injected in the medial prefrontal cortex of spontaneously hypertensive rats
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
We have previously reported that L-glutamate (L-glu) injected into the ventral portion of medial prefrontal cortex (vMPFC) of unanesthetized normotensive Wistar rats elicited cardiovascular responses. In the present study ...
Serotonergic mechanisms of the median raphe nucleus-dorsal hippocampus in conditioned fear: Output circuit involves the prefrontal cortex and amygdala
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Independent studies have shown that the median raphe nucleus (MRN) and dorsal hippocampus (DH) are involved in the expression of contextual conditioned fear (CFC). However, studies that examine the integrated involvement ...
Inhibition of the left medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) prolongs the social defeat-induced anxiogenesis in mice: Attenuation by NMDA receptor blockade in the right mPFC
(2020-01-27)
Chemical inhibition and nitrergic stimulation of the left and right medial prefrontal cortex (L and RmPFC), respectively, provoke anxiety in mice. Moreover, LmPFC inhibition immediately followed by a single social defeat ...
Tonic modulation of anxiety-like behavior by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) type 1 receptor (CRF1) within the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in male mice: Role of protein kinase A (PKA)
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-07-01)
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the neuropeptide corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) have recently been receiving more attention from those interested in the neurobiology of anxiety. Here, we investigated the CRF ...
The endocannabinoid and endovanilloid systems interact in the rat prelimbic medial prefrontal cortex to control anxiety-like behavior
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTDOXFORD, 2012)
Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) agonists usually induce dose-dependent biphasic effects on anxiety-related responses. Low doses induce anxiolytic-like effects, whereas high doses are ineffective or anxiogenic, probably due ...
Prefrontal cortex modulation using transcranial DC stimulation reduces alcohol craving: A double-blind, sham-controlled study
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2008)
Background: Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that specific brain areas are associated with alcohol craving including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We tested whether modulation of DLPFC using ...
Prefrontal afferents to the dorsal raphe nucleus in the rat
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) receives strong inputs from monoaminergic cell groups in the brainstem and also sends projections to these nuclei. Recent evidence suggests that the PFC exerts a powerful top-down control over ...
Cardiovascular effects of noradrenaline microinjected into the insular cortex of unanesthetized rats
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-02-24)
The insular cortex (IC) has been reported to be involved in central cardiovascular control. In the present study, we investigated the cardiovascular responses evoked by microinjection of noradrenaline into the IC as well ...
