Journal ArticleDOI
Differential GABAA receptor clustering determines GABA synapse plasticity in rat oxytocin neurons around parturition and the onset of lactation
TL;DR: The functional synaptic diversity at the postsynaptic level in dorsomedial SON neurons is correlated with a differential clustering of distinct GABA(A)R subtypes at individual synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex‐Dependent Effects of Prenatal Stress on Social Memory in Rats: A Role for Differential Expression of Central Vasopressin‐1a Receptors
TL;DR: The data support a role for altered signalling via central Avpr1a in PNS‐induced sex‐dependent changes in social memory and may have implications for understanding the aetiology of neurodevelopmental disorders characterised by social behaviour deficits in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of substances co-expressed in hypothalamic magnocellular neurons to osmotic challenges in normal and Brattleboro rats.
TL;DR: The intention of this review is to emphasize the current knowledge about the extent and importance of the substances co-localized with magnocellular arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXY) as potential candidates for the gradual clarification of their actual role in the regulation of hydromineral homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of vasopressin and norepinephrine on vascular reactivity in a long-term rodent model of sepsis.
Lucinda K. Barrett,Nelson N. Orie,Valerie Taylor,Raymond Stidwill,Lucie H. Clapp,Mervyn Singer +5 more
TL;DR: This long-term animal model demonstrates changes in circulating vasoactive hormones similar to prolonged human sepsis, and decreased pressor sensitivity to norepinephrine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin: A Review of Therapeutic Applications
TL;DR: The discovery of disease states involving VP and/or its receptors has offered the most insight into VP’s in vivo role and functional repertoire, and an appraisal of these conditions will be used to review current knowledge and clinical applications of VP and its synthetic agonists and antagonists.

Expression of c-fos protein in brain: metabolic mapping at the cellular level
TL;DR: Fos immunohistochemistry provides a cellular method to label polysynaptically activated neurons and thereby map functional pathways in response to polysynaptic activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A potent and selective endogenous agonist for the mu-opiate receptor.
TL;DR: The discovery and isolation from brain of a peptide, endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2), which has the highest specificity and affinity for the µ receptor of any endogenous substance so far described and they maybe natural ligands for this receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat
TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anatomy of neuropeptide-Y-containing neurons in rat brain.
Bibie M. Chronwall,Debora A. DiMaggio,V.J. Massari,V.J. Massari,Virginia M. Pickel,David A. Ruggiero,Thomas L. O'Donohue +6 more
TL;DR: The extremely high concentrations and widespread distribution of neuropeptide Y in the central nervous system suggests a number of important physiological roles for this neurotransmitter candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential co-existence of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity with catecholamines in the central nervous system of the rat.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that central catecholamine neurons can be subdivided into distinct sub-groups based upon the coexistence of a specific peptide.
