چکیده
The Journal of Neuroscience has received a report describing an investigation by Memorial University, which found substantial data misrepresentation in the article “Bidirectional Dopaminergic Modulation of Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in Orexin Neurons” by Christian O. Alberto, Robert B. Trask, Michelle E. Quinlan, and Michiru Hirasawa, which appeared on pages 10043–10050 of the September 27, 2006 issue. Because the results cannot be considered reliable, The Journal is retracting the paper.

Bidirectional dopaminergic modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in orexin neurons.
Orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH)/perifornical area (PFA) are known to promote food intake as well as provide excitatory influence on the dopaminergic reward pathway. Dopamine (DA), in turn, inhibits the reward pathway and food intake through its action in the LH/PFA. However, the cellular mechanism by which DA modulates orexin neurons remains largely unknown. Therefore, we examin...
متن کاملOrexin Signaling in the VTA Gates Morphine-Induced Synaptic Plasticity.
Dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are a key target of addictive drugs, and neuroplasticity in this region may underlie some of the core features of addiction. From the very first exposure, all drugs of abuse induce synaptic plasticity in the VTA. However, it is not well understood how this diverse group of drugs brings about common synaptic change. Orexin (also known as hypoc...
متن کاملGDNF acutely potentiates Ca2+ channels and excitatory synaptic transmission in midbrain dopaminergic neurons.
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is best known for its long-term survival effect on dopaminergic neurons in the ventral midbrain. A recent study showed that acute application of GDNF to these neurons suppresses A-type potassium channels and potentiates neuronal excitability. Here we have characterized the acute effects of GDNF on Ca(2+) channels and synaptic transmission. GDNF...
متن کاملOrexin neurons use endocannabinoids to break obesity-induced inhibition.
Obesity is a pressing health problem affecting more than one-third of adults in the United States and Europe. Besides their increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, metabolic disturbances in overweight individuals affect sleeping behavior, promoting arousal and feeding (1). Task-dependent recruitment of diverse neuropeptidergic neurons in hypothalamic nuclei orchest...
متن کاملRole of hypocretin-1,2 (orexin A and B) in pain perception
Hypocretins/orexins are primary excitatory neuropeptides located exclusively in neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area, which send projections to most monoaminergic nuclei. It has been reported that i.c.v. injection of hypocretin 1 (orexin A) enhances wakefulness in rats and mice. The present work was carried out to examine the roles of hypocretins in nociception in mice. The presence of robu...
