Virally mediated increased neurotensin 1 receptor in the nucleus accumbens decreases behavioral effects of mesolimbic system activation.
Dopamine receptor agonist and NMDA receptor antagonist activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system increases locomotion and disrupts prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response (PPI), paradigms frequently used to study both the pharmacology of antipsychotic drugs and drugs of abuse. In rats, virally mediated overexpression of the neurotensin 1 (NT1) receptor in the nucleus accumbens a...
متن کاملBehavioral sensitization to cocaine is associated with increased AMPA receptor surface expression in the nucleus accumbens.
Regulation of AMPA receptor trafficking is important for many forms of neuronal plasticity. In this study, a protein cross-linking assay was used to evaluate the contribution of AMPA receptor trafficking to plasticity associated with behavioral sensitization, an animal model of drug addiction. Cross-linking was used to distinguish between cell surface and intracellular AMPA receptors in nucleus...
متن کاملBehavioral effects mediated by the modulatory glycine site of the NMDA receptor in the anterodorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens.
The striatum and the nucleus accumbens are the main input structures of the basal ganglia (BG). They contribute differently to motor behavior controlled by the BG in rats, e.g., stereo-typed behavior, catalepsy, and locomotion. Whereas the striatum is predominantly involved in the control of sniffing behavior and catalepsy, the nucleus accumbens contributes to control of locomotion. To test whe...
متن کاملGlutamatergic signaling by mesolimbic dopamine neurons in the nucleus accumbens.
Recent evidence suggests the intriguing possibility that midbrain dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons may use fast glutamatergic transmission to communicate with their postsynaptic targets. Because of technical limitations, direct demonstration of the existence of this signaling mechanism has been limited to experiments using cell culture preparations that often alter neuronal function including neu...
متن کاملArginine Methyltransferase 1 in the Nucleus Accumbens Regulates Behavioral Effects of Cocaine.
UNLABELLED Recent evidence suggests that histone modifications play a role in the behavioral effects of cocaine in rodent models. Histone arginine is known to be methylated by protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs). Evidence shows that PRMT1 contributes to >90% of cellular PRMT activity, which regulates histone H4 arginine 3 asymmetric dimethylation (H4R3me2a). Though histone arginine me...
