Irisin: A myokine with locomotor activity [PDF]
Neuroscience Letters, 2015 The mechanisms underlying alterations in brain functions in response to physical exercise are not fully understood. The present study examined the central effect of irisin, a 112 amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted from the skeletal muscle after exercise, on the locomotion in rats.

Artificial diet alters activity and rest patterns in the olive fruit fly.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Olive fruit flies, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) reared in the laboratory on an artificial diet are essential for the genetic control techniques against this pest. However, the colony's laboratory adaptation can affect the quality of the reared

Aging reveals a role for nigral tyrosine hydroxylase ser31 phosphorylation in locomotor activity generation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) regulates dopamine (DA) bioavailability. Its product, L-DOPA, is an established treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), suggesting that TH regulation influences locomotion. Site-specific phosphorylation of TH at ser31

Defining a role for the peduncolopontine tegmental nucleus in striatal outflow [PDF]
, 2012 The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) lies within the pontomesencephalon and contains cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurones. It has extensive afferent and efferent connections throughout the brain.

Serotonergic Modulation of Locomotor Activity From Basal Vertebrates to Mammals
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 During the last 50 years, the serotonergic (5-HT) system was reported to exert a complex modulation of locomotor activity. Here, we focus on two key factors that likely contribute to such complexity. First, locomotion is modulated directly and indirectly

Peripheral afferent mechanisms underlying acupuncture inhibition of cocaine behavioral effects in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Administration of cocaine increases locomotor activity by enhancing dopamine transmission. To explore the peripheral mechanisms underlying acupuncture treatment for drug addiction, we developed a novel mechanical acupuncture instrument (MAI) for ...
