The effects of ACTH, adrenalectomy and dexamethasone on the acquisition of an avoidance response in rats.

TLDR
The action of ACTH on avoidance conditioning is clearly extra-adrenal, but ACTH is not essential to normal performance, at least when high levels of glucocorticoids are present.

The role of adrenocorticoids as modulators of immune function in health and disease: neural, endocrine and immune interactions.

TL;DR: This work presents a meta-anatomy of the adrenal gland and its role in the development and management of disease and urges further investigation into the role of “cell reprograming” and “reconcretization” in the course of disease progression.

Behavioral effects of peptides

TL;DR: The pituitary—adrenal system plays an essential role in homeostatic functions and the brain as a target for these hormones has been paid little attention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal corticosterone during lactation permanently affects brain corticosteroid receptors, stress response and behaviour in rat progeny.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that, when the increase of corticosterone in infancy is moderate, the adult rats show reduced anxiety, improved learning and a better coping strategy to deal with stressful situations.

Pituitary-adrenal hormones and extinction of rewarded behaviour in the rat☆

TL;DR: An increase in response vigour on the first day of extinction, compared with acquisition asymptote, was observed in all placebo conditions; ACTH 1–24 and ACTH 4–10 reduced themagnitude of this effect;ACTH 4-10 (7-D-Phe) increased the magnitude of thiseffect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential behavioral actions of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF).

TL;DR: The data indicate that CRF can affect behavior via a direct action on the central nervous system, and the question remains whether this activity is an intrinsic property of CRF, or mediated by the release of hormones or neuropeptides.
