Spike patterning in oxytocin neurons: Capturing physiological behaviour with Hodgkin-Huxley and integrate-and-fire models.
TL;DR: The original Hodgkin-Huxley model, with slight modifications, is able to closely match both the interspike interval (ISI) distributions of oxytocin neurons and the observed variability of spike firing rates in vivo and in vitro.

Phasic Neuronal Firing in the Rodent Nucleus of the Solitary Tract ex vivo.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multi-electrode array recordings to study the firing pattern of neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and identified it as a potential downstream target of the noradrenergic system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehydration followed by sham rehydration contributes to reduced neuronal activation in vasopressinergic supraoptic neurons after water deprivation.
TL;DR: Preabsorptive reflexes contribute to the regulation of AVP neurons in a manner independent of c-Fos expression in the lamina terminalis, and this reflex pathway may include inhibitory interneurons in the PNZ region surrounding the SON.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodynamic and metabolic effects of vasopressin infusion in children with shock
TL;DR: Vasopressin has a beneficial clinical effect in children and can be indicated in the treatment of refractory vasodilatory shock, after adequate volume resuscitation and when high doses of other vasopressors are not effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential and reproductive stage-dependent regulation of vasotocin secretion by catecholamines in the catfish Heteropneustes fossilis.
TL;DR: The present data indicate that the physiological changes in VT is differentially regulated by the catecholamines (DA inhibits and NE/E stimulates VT), which indicates a strong possibility of their functional interaction.

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.
