Corticotropin-releasing hormone directly activates noradrenergic neurons of the locus ceruleus recorded in vitro.
The neuropeptide corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) activates locus ceruleus (LC) neurons, thereby increasing norepinephrine levels throughout the CNS. Despite anatomical and physiological evidence for CRH innervation of the LC, the mechanism of CRH-evoked activation of LC neurons is unknown. Moreover, given the apparent absence of mRNA for CRH receptors in LC neurons, the exact location of ...
متن کاملCorticotropin-releasing Hormone Activates a Nonselective Cation
The mechanisms of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)– induced excitation of ACTH-secreting adenoma cells were investigated using the perforated whole-cell clamp technique and intracellular Ca 2 1 concentration ([Ca 2 1 ] i ) measurement. CRH depolarized ACTH-secreting adenoma cells by activating a nonselective cation current that showed slight inward rectification. This channel did not seem ...
متن کاملCorticotropin-releasing hormone increases tonic but not sensory-evoked activity of noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons in unanesthetized rats.
These studies were designed to further test the hypothesis that corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released from axons innervating the noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus (LC) and serves to activate these neurons during stress responses. Specifically, the effects of exogenous CRH on the electrophysiological activity of LC neurons in unanesthetized rats were characterized. Intrace...
متن کاملEarly-life stress disrupts attachment learning: the role of amygdala corticosterone, locus ceruleus corticotropin releasing hormone, and olfactory bulb norepinephrine.
Infant rats require maternal odor learning to guide pups' proximity-seeking of the mother and nursing. Maternal odor learning occurs using a simple learning circuit including robust olfactory bulb norepinephrine (NE), release from the locus ceruleus (LC), and amygdala suppression by low corticosterone (CORT). Early-life stress increases NE but also CORT, and we questioned whether early-life str...
متن کاملPro-opiomelanocortin colocalizes with corticotropin- releasing factor in axon terminals of the noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus.
We previously demonstrated that the opioid peptide enkephalin and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) are occasionally colocalized in individual axon terminals but more frequently converge on common dendrites in the locus coeruleus (LC). To further examine potential opioid cotransmitters in CRF afferents we investigated the distribution of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), the precursor that yields...
