The median preoptic nucleus is involved in the facilitation of heat-escape/cold-seeking behavior during systemic salt loading in rats.
Systemic salt loading has been reported to facilitate operant heat-escape/cold-seeking behavior. In the present study, we hypothesized that the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) would be involved in this mechanism. Rats were divided into two groups (n = 6 each): one group had the MnPO lesion with ibotenic acid (4.0 mug) and the other was the vehicle control. After subcutaneous injection (10 ml/kg)...
متن کاملBrain regions expressing Fos during thermoregulatory behavior in rats.
We surveyed the neural substrata for behavioral thermoregulation with immunohistochemical analysis of the expression of Fos protein in the rat brain. We used an operant system in which a rat exposed to heat (40 degrees C) could get cold air (0 degrees C) for 30 s when it moved into the reward area. Rats moved in and out of the reward area of the system periodically and thus maintained their bod...
متن کاملNeural Substrate of Cold-Seeking Behavior in Endotoxin Shock
Systemic inflammation is a leading cause of hospital death. Mild systemic inflammation is accompanied by warmth-seeking behavior (and fever), whereas severe inflammation is associated with cold-seeking behavior (and hypothermia). Both behaviors are adaptive. Which brain structures mediate which behavior is unknown. The involvement of hypothalamic structures, namely, the preoptic area (POA), par...
متن کاملNitric oxide in the nucleus raphe magnus modulates cutaneous blood flow in rats during hypothermia
Objective(s): Nucleus Raphe Magnus (NRM) that is involved in the regulation of body temperature contains nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Considering the effect of NO on skin blood flow control, in this study, we assessed its thermoregulatory role within the raphe magnus. Materials and Methods: To this end, tail blood flow of male Wistar rats was measured by laser doppler following the induction of ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Nitric Oxide Microinjection in Nucleus Accumbens Shell on Morphine Withdrawal Signs in Male Rats
Introduction: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of intra-nucleus accumbens shell microinjection of Larginine (NO precursor) and L-NAME (nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor) on morphine withdrawal signs in male rats. Method: Rats were anaesthetized with a combination of ketamine and xylazine, and placed in stereotaxic apparatus, and a guide cannula was inserted into nucleus accu...
