Induction of immediate spatiotemporal changes in thalamic networks by peripheral block of ascending cutaneous information.
Miguel A. L. Nicolelis,Miguel A. L. Nicolelis,Rick C.S. Lin,Donald J. Woodward,John K. Chapin +4 more
TL;DR: Thalamic reorganization demonstrates that peripheral sensory deprivation may induce immediate plastic changes at multiple levels of the somatosensory system, and suggests a disruption of the normal dynamic equilibrium between multiple ascending and descending influences on the VPM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progesterone alters GABA and glutamate responsiveness: a possible mechanism for its anxiolytic action
TL;DR: By both means of administration, progesterone significantly enhanced inhibitory responses of Purkinje cells to GABA and suppressed glutamate excitation within 3-10 min post-steroid, consistent with the anxiolytic actions of the steroid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of norepinephrine with cerebellar activity evoked by mossy and climbing fibers.
TL;DR: NE enhances excitatory or inhibitory evoked responses of Purkinje cells relative to spontaneous activity, implying that the action of NE is more complex than a simple depression of activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophysiological and pharmacological evidence for the role of the nucleus accumbens in cocaine self-administration in freely moving rats
TL;DR: The results suggest that the role of the NAS in cocaine self-administration may consist of two different mechanisms: an initiation or trigger mechanism, as represented by the anticipatory neuronal responses, in which the NAS participates in triggering or mediating the goal-directed behaviors (e.g., lever pressing) that lead to the acquisition of the reinforcing agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of neocortical projection neurons in the locus coeruleus.
TL;DR: It is suggested that partially overlapping subsets of LC cells might independently influence separate populations of neurons within noradrenergic terminal fields of the neocortex.
