Cued and Contextual Fear Conditioning for Rodents
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the various challenges inherent in this type of associative learning in order to enable the experimenter to set the conditions to best answer the questions being posed.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that α7 nAChR agonism can lead to broad-spectrum efficacy in animal models at doses that enhance ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation/activation and may represent a mechanism that offers potential to improve cognitive deficits associated with neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of separate and combined septal and amygdala lesions on memory, acoustic startle, anxiety, and locomotor activity in rats.
TL;DR: There are dissociations between the effects of septal and fimbria-fornix lesions and that the interactions between the amygdala and septum in cognitive and emotional processes are task dependent.

Role of the Nucleus Raphe Magnus in Antinociception Produced by ABT-594: Immediate Early Gene Responses Possibly Linked to Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors on Serotonergic Neurons
R. Scott Bitner,Arthur L. Nikkel,Peter Curzon,Stephen P. Arneric,Anthony W. Bannon,Michael W. Decker +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the analgesic mechanism of ABT-594 may in part involve the activation of the NRM, a site where α4-containing nAChRs are expressed by serotonergic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for involvement of both D1 and D2 receptors in maintaining cocaine self-administration
TL;DR: Data give further support to the hypothesis that both D1 and D2 receptors are involved in maintaining cocaine self-administration in rats trained to self-administer cocaine.
