Glutamatergic mechanisms for speed control and network operation in the rodent locomotor CPG
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2010 Locomotion is a fundamental motor act that, to a large degree, is controlled by central pattern generating (CPG) networks in the spinal cord. Glutamate is thought to be responsible for most of the excitatory input to and the excitatory activity within ...

Behavioral Characterization of the Effects of Cannabis Smoke and Anandamide in Rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in the world. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) is the main psychoactive component of cannabis and its effects have been well-studied.

The role of dopamine in locomotor activity and learning [PDF]
Brain Research Reviews, 1983 The discovery that the brain contains neurons utilizing dopamine (DA) as their transmitter has led to studies of the behavioral function of these neurons. Changes in overall level of activity of DA neurons appear to produce parallel changes in locomotor activity.

Circadian Rhythms of Locomotor Activity in the Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus [PDF]
, 2009 Behavioral rhythms of the Nile tilapia were investigated to better characterize its circadian system. To do so, the locomotor activity patterns of both male and female tilapia reared under a 12:12 h light-dark (LD) cycle were studied, as well as in males

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Data in Brief, 2019 Newly fertilized zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to increasing concentrations of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) citalopram from fertilization until six days post-fertilization (dpf).

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Frontiers in Behavioral NeuroscienceLocomotor activity can serve as a readout to identify discomfort and pain. Therefore, monitoring locomotor activity following interventions that induce potential discomfort may serve as a reliable method for evaluating animal health, complementing ...

Contrasting effects of leptin on food anticipatory and total locomotor activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Obese, leptin deficient obob mice have profoundly decreased activity and increased food seeking behavior. The decreased activity has been attributed to obesity. In mice, we tested the hypothesis that leptin increases total locomotor activity but inhibits

Locomotor activity of two sympatric slugs: implication for the invasion success of terrestrial invertebrates. [PDF]
, 2013 A central focus of invasion biology is to identify the traits that predict which introduced species will become invasive. Behavioral traits related to locomotor activity most likely play a pivotal role in determining a species’invasion success but have ...
