Deafferentation elicits increased dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase and receptor binding in the olfactory tubercle

, 1986
Removal of a major non-catecholaminergic output from the olfactory bulb elicits sprouting of dopaminergic axons in the olfactory tubercle. The functional consequences of this increased dopaminergic innervation are presently not known. This study examined

Amphetamine administration into the ventral striatum facilitates behavioral interaction with unconditioned visual signals in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundAdministration of psychomotor stimulants like amphetamine facilitates behavior in the presence of incentive distal stimuli, which have acquired the motivational properties of primary rewards through associative learning.

Early life stress exacerbates behavioural and neuronal alterations in adolescent male mice lacking methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2)

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
The methyl-CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) encodes an epigenetic transcriptional regulator implicated in neuronal plasticity. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are the primary cause of Rett syndrome and, to a lesser degree, of other ...

Predicting olfactory receptor neuron responses from odorant structure [PDF]

, 2007
Background Olfactory receptors work at the interface between the chemical world of volatile molecules and the perception of scent in the brain. Their main purpose is to translate chemical space into information that can be processed by neural circuits ...

Amygdaloid projections to the ventral striatum in mice: Direct and indirect chemosensory inputs to the brain reward system

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
Rodents constitute good models for studying the neural basis of socio-sexual behaviour. Recent findings in mice have revealed the molecular identity of the some pheromonal molecules triggering intersexual attraction.

FoxP2 and olfaction: Divergence of FoxP2 expression in olfactory tubercle between different feeding habit bats

, 2013
FoxP2 is a member of the winged helix/forkhead class of transcription factors. Despite FoxP2 is found to have particular relevance to speech and language, the role of this gene is broader and not yet fully elucidated.

Anti-Dopamine Receptor 2 Antibody-Positive Encephalitis in Adolescent

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Autoimmune encephalitic syndromes include mutism, somnolence, movement disorder, and behavioral, or psychiatric symptoms. When paired with bilateral basal ganglia lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, these support the diagnosis of basal ganglia ...

Ventral striatal islands of Calleja neurons bidirectionally mediate depression-like behaviors in mice

Nature Communications, 2023
The ventral striatum is a reward center implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. It contains islands of Calleja, clusters of dopamine D3 receptor-expressing granule cells, predominantly in the olfactory tubercle (OT). These OT D3 neurons regulate

Fatty acid-binding protein 5 differentially impacts dopamine signaling independent of sex and environment

Addiction Neuroscience, 2023
Epidermal/brain fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) plays an integral role in the intracellular trafficking of bioactive lipids/endocannabinoids and the subsequent initiation of cellular cascades affecting cannabinoid and dopamine (DA) systems.

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.
