Long-term plasticity of postsynaptic GABAA-receptor function in the adult brain: insights from the oxytocin neurone.
TL;DR: It is argued that the hypothalamic oxytocin neurones provide an excellent model of both presynaptic and postsynaptic long-term plasticity of GABA-mediated transmission in the mature nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phasic spike patterning in rat supraoptic neurones in vivo and in vitro.
TL;DR: Analysis of hazard functions revealed that phasic firing in vitro appears consistent with a regenerative process arising from a relatively slow, late depolarizing afterpotential that approaches or exceeds spike threshold, and in vivo activity appears to be dominated by stochastic rather than deterministic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin and vasopressin: Social neuropeptides with complex neuromodulatory functions
TL;DR: Whereas both OXT and AVP promote social recognition, OXT also exerts anxiolytic and antidepressant effects whereas AVP promotes anxiety and stress response and these neuropeptides may have a role in psychiatric or neurologic disorders characterized by impaired social behavior and provide potential therapeutic targets in these conditions.

Allopregnanolone in the brain: protecting pregnancy and birth outcomes
TL;DR: This review critically examines a role for allopregnanolone in both the maternal and foetal brain during pregnancy and development in protecting pregnancy and birth outcomes, with particular emphasis on its role in relation to stress exposure at this time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin increases glucose uptake in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.
TL;DR: The data suggest that OT and OT-GKR influence glucose uptake in neonatal rat CM and may thus play a role in the maintenance of cardiac function and cell survival during metabolic 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.
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.
