Lateral Habenula contribution in Nicotine addiction : focus on Dopamine, GABA and Serotonin Interactions [PDF]
Compelling evidence has shown a pivotal role of dopaminergic function in drug addiction. Recently, the Habenula (Hb) has attracted a great deal of attention as another target for nicotine in the brain because of its role in regulating dopamine (DA ...

Abstract Background and purpose GABAergic neurons in mouse ventral tegmental area (VTA) exhibit elevated activity during withdrawal following chronic ethanol exposure. While increased glutamatergic input and decreased GABAA receptor sensitivity have been implicated, the impact of inhibitory signaling in VTA GABA neurons has not been fully addressed ...

Septal projections to the nucleus incertus in the rat: Bidirectional pathways for modulation of hippocampal function [PDF]
Projections from the nucleus incertus (NI) to the septum have been implicated in the modulation of hippocampal theta rhythm. In this study we describe a previously uncharacterized projection from the septum to the NI, which may provide feedback ...

Structural And Chemical Organization Of The Rat Interpeduncular Nucleus
The structural and chemical organization of the rat interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) was examined employing wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) and immunohistochemistry at the light and electron microscope level. The topographical and ultrastructural arrangements of habenular efferents innervating the IPN were studied ...

Paradoxical Reactions of Central Nervous System Tuberculosis: Report of Three Immunocompetent Cases
Introduction: Paradoxical reactions during tuberculosis (TBC) therapy are characterized by clinical or radiological worsening of preexisting tuberculous lesions or the appearance of new manifestations following appropriate TBC treatment. Identifying this phenomenon is crucial, since it can be mistaken with treatment failure or relapse.

Ethanol increases glutamate neurotransmission in the posterior ventral tegmental area of female Wistar rats [PDF]
Background— The posterior ventral tegmental area (pVTA) mediates the reinforcing and stimulating effects of ethanol (EtOH). Electrophysiological studies indicated that exposure to EtOH increased glutamate synaptic function in the VTA.
