TL;DR: It is suggested that although estrogen regulates TH in the adult MBH, this hormone does not play a role in developmental regulation of TH in this brain region, and depolarizing signals appear to be a widespread mechanism for regulation ofTH in numerous neuronal populations.

TL;DR: It is shown that unilateral lesion of the PBS increases the binding of the sulphated octapeptide of [3H]cholecystokinin ([3H)CCK) within the ipsilateral VMN of the hypothalamus, but not within other brain nuclei that contain receptors for CCK.

TL;DR: Findings from various rodent models of stress are summarized, focusing on the morphological, electrophysiological, endocrine and molecular effects of stress in the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex.

TL;DR: Results indicate that tianeptine has unique properties compared to some other antidepressant drugs, but shares in common with those drugs the ability to attenuate stress effects on tyrosine hydroxylase gene expression and on the serotonin transporter.

TL;DR: This chapter describes a cellular mechanism of steroid hormone action that appears to be universal for all steroid target tissues, neural and nonneural and to review evidence of its operation in the central nervous system and the pituitary gland in relation to the specific behavioral and neuroendocrine processes that are regulated by steroid hormones.
