Dehydration increases L-type calcium channel density in the somata of magnocellular neurosecretory cells in rats
TL;DR: VP-ergic MNCs undergo a number of structural and functional changes during dehydration, including the adoption of a bursting pattern of firing, the retraction of glial processes from MNC somata and terminals, the translocation of κ-opioid receptors from internal stores to the plasma membrane, and the somatodendritic release of VP and OT.
Dissertation
Effects of chronic psychosocial stress on HPA axis functionality in male C57BL/6 mice and the impact of trait anxiety on the individual stress vulnerability
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CSC results in an increased pituitary activity and reactivity, and the underlying mechanisms are still poorly investigated, however CSC mice showed alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functionality, f.e. at the level of the adrenal glands.
Synaptic Mechanisms for the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activation by Prostaglandin E2
TL;DR: This thesis provides a plausible mechanism for how PGE2 activates the HPA axis during inflammation, and a potential mechanism for its modulation by psychological stress.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
