The language of light: a review of bioluminescence in deep‐sea decapod shrimps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1806-1830, October 2024.
ABSTRACT In the dark, expansive habitat of the deep sea, the production of light through bioluminescence is commonly used among a wide range of taxa. In decapod crustaceans, bioluminescence is only known in shrimps (Dendrobranchiata and Caridea) and may occur in different modes, including luminous secretions that are used to deter predators and/or from

Effects of gabapentin on slow‐wave sleep period in critically ill adult patients: A randomized controlled trial

open access: yesClinical and Translational Science, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Sleep deprivation is a prevalent problem in critically ill patients, which leads to delayed recovery and delirium. Slow‐wave sleep (SWS) is essential to energy restoration, tissue repair, and immune system strengthening. This study aimed to investigate the effects of gabapentin on SWS in critically ill patients. We performed a prospective open‐

Brain state‐dependent responses of midbrain dopaminergic neurons to footshock under urethane anaesthesia

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 59, Issue 7, Page 1536-1557, April 2024.
In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of midbrain dopaminergic neurons that respond to the aversive stimulus (footshock) in a brain state‐dependent manner. In response to footshock, majority of these neurons decrease their level of activity during cortical activation (activated brain state) and increase their level of activity during slow wave ...

Nucleus incertus corticotrophin‐releasing factor 1 receptor signalling regulates alcohol seeking in rats [PDF]

open access: yesAddiction Biology, 2016
AbstractAlcoholism is a chronic relapsing disorder, and stress is a key precipitant of relapse. The nucleus incertus (NI) is highly responsive to corticotrophin‐releasing factor (CRF) and psychological stressors, receives a CRF innervation and expresses CRF1 and CRF2 receptor mRNA. Furthermore, the ascending NI relaxin‐3 system is implicated in alcohol

Nucleus incertus contributes to an anxiogenic effect of buspirone in rats: Involvement of 5-HT1A receptors

open access: yesNeuropharmacology, 2016
The nucleus incertus (NI), a brainstem structure with diverse anatomical connections, is implicated in anxiety, arousal, hippocampal theta modulation, and stress responses. It expresses a variety of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and receptors such as 5-HT1A, D2 and CRF1 receptors.

Nucleus incertus contribution to the hippocampal theta rhythm generation

open access: yes, 2006
The hippocampal theta rhythm is generated by the pacemaker activity of the medial septum-diagonal band of Broca (MS/DBB) neurons. These nuclei are influenced by brainstem structures that modulate the theta rhythm. The aim of the present work is to determine whether the nucleus incertus (NI), which has important anatomical connections with the MS/DBB ...
