Presynaptic gating of excitation in the dorsal raphe nucleus by GABA.
The dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) controls forebrain serotonin neurotransmission to influence emotional states. GABA neurotransmission in the DR has been implicated in regulating sleep/wake states and influencing anxiety and aggression. To gain insight into how GABA regulates DR activity, we analyzed the organization of both GABA and glutamate axons in the rat DR using a high-resolution immunofluor...
متن کاملThe Effects of Lidocaine Reversible Inactivation of the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus on Passive Avoidance Learning in Rats
Introduction: The role of serotonergic fibers in avoidance learning is controversial. Involvement of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), the main source of hippocampal projecting serotonergic fibers in acquisition, consolidation and retrieval of passive avoidance (PA) learning, was investigated by functional suppression of this area. Materials and Methods: DRN functional inactivation was done by li...
متن کاملNicotinic excitation of serotonergic projections from dorsal raphe to the nucleus accumbens.
Tobacco use is a major public health problem, and although many smokers report that they want to quit, only a small percentage succeed. Side effects associated with nicotine withdrawal, including depression, anxiety, and restlessness, certainly contribute to the low success rate. The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is a serotonergic center with many functions, including control of mood and emotional...
متن کاملCalretinin in Dorsal Raphe Nucleus of the Chinchilla
The localisation of carletinin in the midbrains of 10 sexually mature chinchilla males was examined by carrying out the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical reaction using specific monoclonal antibody against calretinin. Intensive immunostaining for the protein was observed in the majority of fusiform, pyramidal, and stellate neurons of dorsal raphe nucleus. A similar calretinin distrib...
متن کاملCoding of task reward value in the dorsal raphe nucleus.
The dorsal raphe nucleus and its serotonin-releasing neurons are thought to regulate motivation and reward-seeking. These neurons are known to be active during motivated behavior, but the underlying principles that govern their activity are unknown. Here we show that a group of dorsal raphe neurons encode behavioral tasks in a systematic manner, tracking progress toward upcoming rewards. We ana...
