Nucleus accumbens lesion does not affect schedule induced polydipsia.

چکیده
Rats with lesion of nucleus accumbens were hypodipsic under free-feeding conditions. In schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP) tests conducted by reducing the rats to 70% of free-feeding body weight and delivering 60 mg bengal gram pellets on a fixed time 1-min schedule, nucleus accumbens lesions did not delay the acquisition or show a decrease in the maintenance of S.I.P.

Effect of Electrical Stimulation and Lesion of Nucleus Accumbens on EEG of Intact and Addicted Rats
Introduction: The nucleus accumbens is involved in various functions ranging from motivation and reward to feeding and drug addiction. Some researchers have also suggested that this region has some roles in consciousness. In the present study, the effect of electrical stimulation and lesion of nucleus accumbens on Electroencephalogram waves (EEG) of addict and non-addict rats was investigated. ...
متن کاملRelationship of Dopamine of the Nucleus Accumbens with Intra-infralimbic Apomorphine Microinjection
Objective(s): The dopamine level of the nucleus accumbens changes during some stereotyped behaviors. To study dopamine level of the nucleus accumbens in intra infralimbic apomorphine-induced climbing, microdialysis probes were implanted into the nucleus accumbens shell of male Sprague Dawley rats weighting 275–400 g. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into two groups (apomorphine ...

Introduction: The role of different parts of the extended amygdala in metabolic signs of stress is not well understood. In the present study, we decided to evaluate the impact of the shell part of nucleus accumbens (NAc) on metabolic disturbance induced by electro foot shock stress using transient inactivation method in the rat. Methods: Male Wistar rats (W: 230-250 g) were canuulated un...
متن کاملGinger Extract Reduces Chronic Morphine-Induced Neuroinflammation and Glial Activation in Nucleus Accumbens of Rats
Background: Chronic usage of morphine elicits the production of inflammatory factors by glial cells andinduces neuroinflammation. Ginger (Zingiber Officinale Roscoe) is a medicinal herb that has antiinflammatory properties. It has been reported that ginger shows anti-addictive effects against chronic usageof morphine; however, its influence o...
متن کاملEffect of morphine on apoptotic factors caspase-3, PARP and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in nucleus accumbens in conditioned place preference model in rat
Introduction: Nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays a critical role in neuronal reward circuits that are responsible for motivated and goal-directed behaviors. Some data suggest that morphine induces apoptosis in neurons, while other evidences show that morphine could have beneficial effects against neuronal cell death. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of morphine on apoptosis in the N...
