Seizure‐onset zone lateralization in temporal lobe epilepsy using 7T rs‐fMRI: Direct comparison with 3T rs‐fMRI

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs‐fMRI) at ultra‐high field strengths (≥7T) is known to provide superior signal‐to‐noise to comparable acquisitions at lower field strengths. In this study, we provide a direct comparison of the seizure onset‐zone (SOZ) lateralizing ability of 7T rs‐fMRI and 3T rs‐fMRI. Methods We

A Major External Source of Cholinergic Innervation of the Striatum and Nucleus Accumbens Originates in the Brainstem

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014
Cholinergic transmission in the striatal complex is critical for the modulation of the activity of local microcircuits and dopamine release. Release of acetylcholine has been considered to originate exclusively from a subtype of striatal interneuron that

Anorectic and anxiogenic actions of cocaine‐ and amphetamine‐regulated transcript in the lateral septum

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cocaine‐ and amphetamine‐regulated transcript (CART) is produced in several brain regions including the hypothalamus where it is made in cells that also produce melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH). CART‐expressing MCH cells densely innervate the lateral septum (LS), which integrates food‐ and mood‐related behaviours.

Effects of Memantine, an NMDA Antagonist, on Metabolic Syndromes in Female NMRI Mice

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2015
Introduction: The brain glutamate neurotransmitter system and its NMDA receptors in the nucleus accumbens play an important role in the incidence of the phenomena of sensitivity and addiction. The present study examined the inhibitory effect of glutamate

Cannabis Use Is Quantitatively Associated with Nucleus Accumbens and Amygdala Abnormalities in Young Adult Recreational Users

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014
Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States, but little is known about its effects on the human brain, particularly on reward/aversion regions implicated in addiction, such as the nucleus accumbens and amygdala.

Blocking TRPV1 in nucleus accumbens inhibits persistent morphine conditioned place preference expression in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The function of TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily, member 1) in the central nervous system is gradually elucidated. It has been recently proved to be expressed in nucleus accumbens (NAc), a region playing an essential role in ...

Chronic cocaine-regulated epigenomic changes in mouse nucleus accumbens

Genome Biology, 2014
BackgroundIncreasing evidence supports a role for altered gene expression in mediating the lasting effects of cocaine on the brain, and recent work has demonstrated the involvement of chromatin modifications in these alterations.

Anticipatory pleasure predicts effective connectivity in the mesolimbic system

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
Convergent evidence suggests the important role of the mesolimbic pathway in anticipating monetary rewards. However, the underlying mechanism of how the sub-regions interact with each other is still not clearly understood.
