TL;DR: A hypothalamus-specific mRNA is described that encodes preprohypocretin, the putative precursor of a pair of peptides that share substantial amino acid identities with the gut hormone secretin, suggesting that the hypocretins function within the CNS as neurotransmitters.
Sex Differences in
TL;DR: In this paper, a study suggests that there are sex differences in vocational attitude maturity, with the relationship being higher for males than for females, and the self-concept variables of self-satisfaction, family, and moral-ethical self were found to contribute to the attitude maturity of males.

Opioids excite dopamine neurons by hyperpolarization of local interneurons.
Steven W. Johnson,R. A. North +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that hyperpolarization of the interneurons by opioids reduces the spontaneous GABA-mediated synaptic input to the dopamine cells in vivo, which would be expected to contribute to the positive reinforcement seen with mu-receptor agonists such as morphine and heroin.

Differential expression of orexin receptors 1 and 2 in the rat brain.

TL;DR: The differential distribution of oxin receptors is consistent with the proposed multifaceted roles of orexin in regulating homeostasis and may explain the unique role of the OX2R receptor in regulating sleep state stability.

Molecular cloning, functional properties, and distribution of rat brain alpha 7: a nicotinic cation channel highly permeable to calcium
TL;DR: The results imply that alpha 7-containing receptors may play a role in activating calcium-dependent mechanisms in specific neuronal populations of the adult rat limbic system.
