Book ChapterDOI
The Role of Vasopressin in Anxiety and Depression
TL;DR: In this chapter, recent data suggests that administration of an Avpr1b antagonist can alleviate symptoms of depression and has shed light on the potential clinical relevance of the Avpergic system to anxiety and depression.
Book ChapterDOI
Steroid modulation of GABAA receptors:from molecular mechanisms to CNS roles in reproduction, dysfunction and drug abuse
TL;DR: The way allosteric modulation of GABA A receptors by the derivatives of gonadal steroids regulates normal CNS processing, as well as the role it may play in specific disorders and in drug abuse is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apamin increases post-spike excitability of supraoptic nucleus neurons in anaesthetized morphine-naïve rats and morphine-dependent rats: consequences for morphine withdrawal excitation
TL;DR: An increase in post-spike excitability does not appear to drive morphine withdrawal- induced increases in oxytocin neuron firing rate, but does contribute to withdrawal-induced hyper-secretion of oxytoc in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophysiological identification of the functional presynaptic nerve terminals on an isolated single vasopressin neurone of the rat supraoptic nucleus.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the function of presynaptic nerve terminals may be evaluated directly in a single AVP‐eGFP neurone, and would be helpful in future studies aiming to electrophysiologically distinguish between the functions of synaptic terminals and glial modifications in the SON neurones.
Dissertation
Rôle du récepteur EphA4 dans la plasticité structurale neurono-gliale du noyau supraoptique à la suite d’un régime à l’eau salée
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that EphA4 is expressed in the SON, with a distribution of its mRNA similar to that of OT neurons, and that it was absent from the glia limitans, and its expression increased following salt loading, particularly in dendrites.

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

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.
