متن کاملObesity decreases excitability of putative ventral tegmental area GABAergic neurons
Palatable food has reinforcing effects on feeding and accelerates obesity. Alteration of food-related behavior in obesity may promote maintenance of obesity. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain is important for food reward. However, it is unknown whether activity of VTA neurons is altered in diet-induced obesity. In this study, we examined VTA neuronal activity using an electrophys...
متن کاملNeurochemical Effects of Nicotine on Albino Rat’s Brain
Background: In the recent era, smoking has become fashionable. Seventy percent of the Indian population is continuously being exposed to smoking. Cigarette smoking produces various quantities of nicotine that is readily absorbed by the physiological system of smokers. Objectives: Adolescence is the period in which smokers typically begin their nicotine addiction. To date, no attempt has been ma...
متن کاملExcitatory GABAergic effects in striatal projection neurons.
The ability of synaptically released GABA to facilitate action potential generation in striatal projection neurons was studied in brain slices using current-clamp, gramicidin-perforated whole cell recordings. Evoked GABAergic postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) were pharmacologically isolated with ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists. Subthreshold depolarizing current injections were paired wit...
متن کاملMicroinfusion of Bupropion Inhibits Putative GABAergic Neuronal Activity of the Ventral Tegmental Area
Introduction: The most common interpretation for the mechanisms of antidepression is the increase of the brain monoamine levels such as dopamine (DA). The increase of DA can reduce depression but it can also decrease the monoamine release because of autoreceptor inhibition. Although bupropion can decrease the dopamine release, there is evidence about stimulatory effects of chronic application o...
