A Transgenic Rat for Investigating the Anatomy and Function of Corticotrophin Releasing Factor Circuits. [PDF]
, 2015 Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) is a 41 amino acid neuropeptide that coordinates adaptive responses to stress. CRF projections from neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) to the brainstem are of particular interest for their role in ...

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]
, 2020 Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.

Input–output connections of
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2020 Abstract Sensory information is transmitted from peripheral nerves, through the spinal cord, and up to the brain. Sensory information may be modulated by projections from the brain to the spinal cord, but the neural substrates for top‐down sensory control are incompletely understood.

Pathological alterations in striatal compartments in the human brain of autism spectrum disorder
Molecular Brain, 2020 The striatum comprises a mosaic structure of striosomal and matrix compartments. Imbalanced neuronal activity between striosomes and matrix is implicated in neurological deficits in psychomotor and limbic functions.

Gut sensing of food ingredients and interoception-mediated regulation of feeding and glucose metabolism. [PDF]
Physiol RepAbstract Food intake not only provides pleasure through exteroceptive sensations such as taste and smell but also elicits beneficial physiological effects via interoceptive signals arising from the gastrointestinal tract and beyond. Among these interoceptive pathways, vagal sensory (vagal afferent) nerves play a central role in transmitting food ...
