Hypothalamic Vasopressinergic Projections Innervate Central Amygdala GABAergic Neurons: Implications for Anxiety and Stress Coping
The arginine-vasopressin (AVP)-containing hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory neurons (VPMNNs) are known for their role in hydro-electrolytic balance control via their projections to the neurohypophysis. Recently, projections from these same neurons to hippocampus, habenula and other brain regions in which vasopressin infusion modulates contingent social and emotionally-affected behaviors...
متن کاملASIC1a activation enhances inhibition in the basolateral amygdala and reduces anxiety.
The discovery that even small changes in extracellular acidity can alter the excitability of neuronal networks via activation of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) could have therapeutic application in a host of neurological and psychiatric illnesses. Recent evidence suggests that activation of ASIC1a, a subtype of ASICs that is widely distributed in the brain, is necessary for the expression of...
متن کاملNeurosteroids increase tonic GABAergic inhibition in the lateral section of the central amygdala in mice.
Neurosteroids are formed de novo in the brain and can modulate both inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission. Recent evidence suggests that the anxiolytic effects of neurosteroids are mediated by the amygdala, a key structure for emotional and cognitive behaviors. Tonic inhibitory signaling via extrasynaptic type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA(A)Rs) is known to be crucially involved i...
متن کاملBDNF locally potentiates GABAergic presynaptic machineries: target-selective circuit inhibition.
Inhibitory neurotransmission is critical for neuronal circuit formation. To examine whether inhibitory neurotransmission receives target-selective modulation in the long term, we expressed the cDNA of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to induce the augmentation of GABAergic synapses in vivo and in vitro, in a small population of cultured hippocampal neurons. At 48 h...
متن کاملResponse to “anxious to Drink: Gabapentin Normalizes Gabaergic Transmission in the Central Amygdala and Reduces Symtpoms of Ethanol Dependence
We are pleased that the authors of this Journal Club article have chosen to review our article and we would like to take this opportunity to clarify and expand on a few important points. First, Clemens and Vendruscolo (2008) correctly note that the electrophysiological profile of gabapentin is bi-directional as determined by the ethanol history of the animal (increases GABA transmission in CeA ...
