Chronic exposure to nicotine results in the development of a dependent state such that a withdrawal syndrome is elicited upon cessation of nicotine. The interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) contains a high concentration of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors ...

Distribution of mRNA for the exocytotic calcium sensor, synaptotagmin 9, in mouse brain [PDF]
The principal Ca2 + sensors that control fusion of synaptic vesicles are synaptotagmins 1, 2 and 9. Synaptotagmin 9 (Syt9) has received the least attention. We applied RNAscope techniques to coronal sections of adult mouse brain to study the distribution

Complex opioid-driven modulation of glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission in a GABAergic brain nucleus associated with emotion, reward, and addiction [PDF]
The medial habenula (mHb)/interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) circuitry is resident to divergent molecular, neurochemical, and cellular components which, in concert, perform computations to drive emotion, reward, and addiction behaviors.

The interpeduncular nucleus blunts the rewarding effect of nicotine [PDF]
SummaryNicotine, by stimulating ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons, has a rewarding effect that drives tobacco consumption. In turn, the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) is thought to become activated at high nicotine doses to restrict drug intake.

Trans-Synaptic Virus Tracing Reveals Reciprocal Connections of the Interpeduncular Nucleus With the Mood, Exteroceptive, Interoceptive, and Motor Control Systems. [PDF]
The interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) in zebrafish plays a pivotal role in directional decision‐making, social conflict, and fear responses. The anterograde and retrograde connections of the dorsal and intermediate IPN are revealed through the use of monosynaptic and trans‐synaptic viral tracers.
