Chemical transmission in the rat interpeduncular nucleus in vitro. [PDF]
We have used a rat brain‐slice preparation to study the effects of some cholinomimetic and amino acid agonists and antagonists on the discharge frequency of neurones in the interpeduncular nucleus (i.p.n.), and on the response of these neurones to electrical stimulation of their main excitatory input, the fasciculus retroflexus of Meynert (f.r.m.).

Manganese-Enhanced MRI Reflects Both Activity-Independent and Activity-Dependent Uptake within the Rat Habenulomesencephalic Pathway. [PDF]
Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) is a powerful technique for assessing the functional connectivity of neurons within the central nervous system. Despite the widely held proposition that MEMRI signal is dependent on neuronal activity,

Specialized neurons in the right habenula mediate response to aversive olfactory cues
Hemispheric specializations are well studied at the functional level but less is known about the underlying neural mechanisms. We identified a small cluster of cholinergic neurons in the dorsal habenula (dHb) of zebrafish, defined by their expression of ...

Expression of Urocortin 3 mRNA in the Central Nervous System of the Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus
In this study, we analyzed the organization of urocortin 3 (Ucn3)-expressing neuronal populations in the brain of the adult sea lamprey by means of in situ hybridization.

Midbrain Dopamine Controls Anxiety-like Behavior by Engaging Unique Interpeduncular Nucleus Microcircuitry. [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) is hypothesized to modulate anxiety-like behavior, although the precise role of DA in anxiety behaviors and the complete anxiety network in the brain have yet to be elucidated. Recent data indicate that dopaminergic projections from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) innervate the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN), but how the IPN responds to ...
