Role of superior laryngeal nerve and Fos staining following dehydration and rehydration in the rat.

TL;DR: The role of the superior laryngeal nerve contributes to changes in Fos staining in the NTS and SON following water intake in dehydrated rats, and water deprivation and rehydration contributes to these changes.

Osmotic modulation of stimulus-evoked responses in the rat supraoptic nucleus (vol 27, pg 1989, 2008)

TL;DR: In this article, phase-interval stimulus histogram (PhISH) was applied to measure the extent of stimulus-evoked response using the statistical relationship between each interspike interval and its phase within the stimulus cycle.

Cardiopulmonary Response to Vasopressin-Induced Activation on V 1A Receptors in the Lateral Ventrolateral Medulla in the Rat

TL;DR: The results suggest that a vasopressinergic pathway projects to the lateral VLM and modulates cardiopulmonary functions via AVP V1A receptors on neurons within theateral VLM.

The Perinatal Application of Oxytocin and Its Possible Influence on the Human Psyche

TL;DR: It is shown that the use of Oxytocin under birth can have consequences on the psyche of the child, for the important time after the birth and in addition for the remainder of life, and its use should therefore be strictly carefully considered.

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.
