TLDR
Adenohypophysectomized rats were subjected to an avoidance learning procedure and only 6 of 21 rats achieved the conditioning criterion against 14 of 18 sham-operated controls.

Corticotropin releasing factor produces behavioural activation in rats

TL;DR: It is reported here that centrally injected synthetic CRF produces a dose-dependent locomotor activation in rats, suggesting that CRF may have an activating action in the central nervous system independent of its effects on the anterior pituitary gland.
Journal ArticleDOI

The opiomelanotropinergic neuronal and endocrine systems.

TL;DR: The anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of opiomelanotropinergic neurons are reviewed and the implications of multi-neurotransmitter and multi-hormone neurons and cells are discussed.

The influence of the posterior and inter-mediate lobe of the pituitary and pituitary peptides on the maintenance of a conditioned avoidance response in rats

TL;DR: The data indicate that the presence of the posterior and/or intermediate lobe of the pituitary is essential for the maintenance of the avoidance response and that peptides representing these structures are physiologically involved in this process.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the hippocampus, neocortex and amygdala: a review of immunocytochemical localization in relation to learning and memory

TL;DR: A hypothesis for the role of muscarinic receptors in learning and memory in terms of modulation between learning and recall states of brain areas at the postsynaptic level is proposed by way of immunocytochemistry employing the monoclonal antibody M35.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peptides and behavior.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors showed that peptides derived from the anterior pituitary (ACTH, growth hormone), the intermediate lobe (α-MSH), and the posterior lobe (vasopressin) of the pituitar cortex have been shown to modulate conditioned behavior.
