Journal ArticleDOI
The pattern of brain c-fos mRNA induced by a component of fox odor, 2,5-dihydro-2,4,5-trimethylthiazoline (TMT), in rats, suggests both systemic and processive stress characteristics.
TL;DR: The results suggest that TMT elicits stress responses through a relatively unique and complex mix of brain regions associated with both processive and systemic neural pathways, unlike those seen in response to cat odors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controllable versus uncontrollable stressors bi-directionally modulate conditioned but not innate fear
Michael V. Baratta,John P. Christianson,D.M. Gomez,Christina M. Zarza,Jose Amat,Cher V. Masini,Linda R. Watkins,Steven F. Maier +7 more
TL;DR: The impact of exposure to a stressor in a different environment on subsequent fear conditioning and extinction, and whether the degree of behavioral control that the subject has over the stressor is of importance is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferret Odor as a Processive Stress Model in Rats: Neurochemical, Behavioral, and Endocrine Evidence
TL;DR: It is suggested that ferret odor produces a reliable unconditioned stress response and may be useful as a processive stress model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in activated corticotropin-releasing factor neurons within stress-related neurocircuitry and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis hormones following restraint in rats.
TL;DR: Data suggest sex differences in HPA axis activation in response to perceived threat may be influenced by specific populations of CRF neurons in key stress-related brain regions, the BSTav, MPOA, and PVN, which may be independent of circulating sex steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis Responses to Low‐Intensity Stressors are Reduced After Voluntary Wheel Running in Rats
Serge Campeau,Tara J. Nyhuis,Sarah K. Sasse,Elisa M. Kryskow,Lauren Herlihy,Cher V. Masini,Jessica A. Babb,Benjamin N. Greenwood,Monika Fleshner,Heidi E.W. Day +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that in rats, 6 weeks of daily or intermittent exercise constrains the HPA axis response to mild, but not more intense stressors, and that this regulation may be mediated at a central level beyond the primary sensory input.
