SEXUAL DIMORPHISM OF GLIAL FIBRILLARY ACIDIC PROTEIN (GFAP) IMMUNOREACTIVITY IN THE RAT INTERPEDUNCULAR NUCLEUS [PDF]
The intensity of immunostaining for the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is outstandingly high in the interpeduncular nucleus. This nucleus was compared in males and females for its GFAP immunoreaction.

Griseum centrale, a homologue of the periaqueductal gray in the lamprey
Fear, a response to threatening stimuli and important for survival, is a behavior found throughout the animal kingdom. One critical structure involved in the expression of fear-related behavior is the periaqueductal gray (PAG) in mammals, and in the ...

Understanding the habenula: A major node in circuits regulating emotion and motivation
Over the last decade, the understanding of the habenula has rapidly advanced from being an understudied brain area with the Latin name ‘habena” meaning “little rein”, to being considered a “major rein” in the control of key monoaminergic brain centers ...

The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus and the nucleus basalis magnocellularis : do both have a role in sustained attention? [PDF]
It is well established that nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NbM) lesions impair performance on tests of sustained attention. Previous work from this laboratory has also demonstrated that pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) lesioned rats make more ...

The interpeduncular nucleus regulates nicotineʼs effects on free-field activity
PARTIAL lesions were made with kainic acid in the interpeduncular nucleus of the ventral midbrain of the rat. Compared with sham-operated controls, lesions significantly (p < 0.25) blunted the early (< 60min) free- field locomotor hypoactivity caused by ...

Cholinergic and non-cholinergic forebrain projections to the interpeduncular nucleus
A combined fluorescent retrograde tracing and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemical technique was used for the study of some forebrain projections to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN).

Mapping neuronal inputs to Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the mouse.
The normal function of the mammalian reproductive axis is strongly influenced by physiological, metabolic and environmental factors. Kisspeptin neuropeptides, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, are potent regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis by ...

ABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2), have raised concerns about their potential effects on aquatic organisms, particularly during early developmental stages. In this context, the study of behavioral disruption has gained considerable attention, as it may have consequences on individual fitness and ...
