Journal ArticleDOI

Differential rearing conditions alter operant responding for ethanol in outbred rats.

Gerald A. Deehan, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: Rats reared in an IC show greater proclivity to respond operantly for 10% ethanol compared with rats raised in either SC or EC, yet contrast some studies showing EC animals consume greater amounts of ethanol than IC rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

The reinforcing properties of salsolinol in the ventral tegmental area: evidence for regional heterogeneity and the involvement of serotonin and dopamine.

Zachary A. Rodd, +8 more
- 01 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: Salsolinol produces reinforcing effects in the posterior VTA of Wistar rats, and these effects are mediated by activation of DA neurons and local 5-HT3 receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microinjections of acetaldehyde or salsolinol into the posterior ventral tegmental area increase dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens shell.

Gerald A. Deehan, +4 more
- 01 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dose-response effects of microinjections of ACD or SAL into the posterior ventral tegmental area (pVTA) on DA efflux in the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh).
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological depletion of serotonin in the basolateral amygdala complex reduces anxiety and disrupts fear conditioning

Philip L. Johnson, +10 more
- 01 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, 5,7-DHT was injected into the basolateral and lateral amygdala nuclei complex (BLC) to reduce anxiety and social anxiety in rats.

Pharmacological depletion of serotonin in the basolateral amygdala complex reduces anxiety and disrupts fear conditioning

Philip L. Johnson, +10 more
TL;DR: Ex vivo analyses revealed that 5,7-DHT reduced local 5-HT concentrations in the BLC by ~40% without altering local norepinephrine or dopamine concentrations, providing additional support for 5- HT playing a critical role in modulating anxiety-like behavior and fear-associated memories through its actions within the B LC.
