چکیده

Rats were infused with norepinephrine or saline intraventricularly in a free-field situation and while performing a continuous avoidance task (Sidman avoidance). The results indicate that central administration of norepinephrine may lead to behavioral activation in the rat.

The effect of desmopressin infusion into dorsal raphe nucleus on pain modulation and morphine analgesia in rats tail flick reflex

Recent neuroanatomical and behavioral evidence has indicated that vasopressin (VA) increases pain threshold. The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important nucleus in pain modulation. Anatomical studies have shown that DRN receives vasopressinergic fibers originating in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of intra-DRN injection of de...

Posttraining norepinephrine infusion into the central amygdala differentially enhances later retention in Roman high-avoidance and low-avoidance rats.

Memory-enhancement effects of norepinephrine (NE) were investigated by infusing NE into the central amygdala (CEA) of Roman high-avoidance (RHA) and low-avoidance (RLA) rats after training on active and passive behaviors in the defensive-burying paradigm. During acquisition, both lines spent comparable time in burying behavior. RLA rats, but not RHA rats, also displayed substantial immobility. ...

Effects of intraventricular norepinephrine and estradiol benzoate on weight regulatory behavior in female rats.

Ovariectomized female rats had 1/~g estradiol benzoate (EB) or l-norepinephrine hydrochloride (NE:50, 100, 150, 250/zg) administered into the right lateral ventricle. Both NE and EB stimulated activity whether infused in the light or in the dark. When given in the light EB and 50-150 #g NE produced an increase in food consumption; when administered 1 h into the dark the drugs caused a drop in f...

The effect of intracerebroventricular injection of CGRP on pain behavioral responses and monoamines concentrations in the periaqueductal gray area in rat

Objective(s): Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) receptors are widely distributed in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of CGRP on pain behavioral responses and on levels of monoamines in the periaqueductal gray area (PAG) during the formalin test in rats.Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male rats wer...
