The osmotically and histamine-induced enhancement of the plasma vasopressin level is diminished by intracerebroventricularly administered orexin in rats.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the effects of the orexins on water consumption or blockade of the histamine and osmosis-induced VP level increase are mediated by the OX1 receptor.

Differential role of specific cardiovascular neuropeptides in pain regulation: Relevance to cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: The present review discusses the regulation of the release, and mechanisms of the central and systemic actions of these peptides on the cardiovascular system in the context of their central and peripheral nociceptive and antinociception properties and considers the possibility that they may play a significant role in the modulation of pain in cardiovascular diseases.

The Adaptive Brain: Glenn Hatton and the Supraoptic Nucleus

TL;DR: In December 2009, Glenn Hatton died, and neuroendocrinology lost a pioneer who had done much to forge the present understanding of the hypothalamus and whose productivity had not faded with the passing years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can homeostatic circuits learn and remember

TL;DR: Based on the work reviewed here, a clearer picture of the synaptic and cellular mechanisms that allow autonomic pathways to learn and remember is seen.

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.

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.
