Allopregnanolone in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis modulates contextual fear in rats
Trauma- and stress-related disorders are among the most common types of mental illness affecting the U.S. population. For many of these disorders, there is a striking sex difference in lifetime prevalence; for instance, women are twice as likely as men to be affected by posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Gonadal steroids and their metabolites have been implicated in sex differences in fear a...
متن کاملStimulation of in vivo dopamine transmission in the bed nucleus of stria terminalis by reinforcing drugs.
Drugs of abuse preferentially increase dopamine transmission in the shell of the nucleus accumbens. This area is considered as a transition between the striatum and the extended amygdala a complex neural system that includes the central amygdala and the bed nucleus of stria terminalis, areas that, like the nucleus accumbens shell, are heavily innervated by mesolimbic dopamine neurons originatin...
متن کاملPresynaptic muscarinic M(2) receptors modulate glutamatergic transmission in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.
The anterolateral cell group of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST(ALG)) serves as an important relay station in stress circuitry. Limbic inputs to the BNST(ALG) are primarily glutamatergic and activity-dependent changes in this input have been implicated in abnormal behaviors associated with chronic stress and addiction. Significantly, local infusion of acetylcholine (ACh) receptor ...
متن کاملNicotine self-administration induces CB1-dependent LTP in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.
Nicotine addiction is characterized by repetitive drug taking and drug seeking, both tightly controlled by cannabinoid CB1 receptors. The responsiveness of neurons of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) to infralimbic cortex (ILCx) excitatory inputs is increased in rats with active, but not passive, nicotine taking. Therefore, we hypothesize that acquisition of the learned associatio...
متن کاملThe bed nucleus of the stria terminalis modulates learning after stress in masculinized but not cycling females.
Exposure to an acute stressful event enhances classical eyeblink conditioning in male rats, but severely impairs conditioning in female rats. Previous studies have demonstrated that the hippocampus and amygdala critically mediate this effect in both sexes. Thus, although stress affects learning in opposite ways, the structures involved are similar. Previously, we found that the bed nucleus of t...
