Increased electrical and metabolic activity in the dorsal raphe nucleus of Parkinsonian rats.

چکیده
Serotonin (5-HT) containing neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) may play important roles in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study investigated neural and metabolic activity of the DRN in animal PD models based on dopamine depletion. The data show both increased firing rate of DRN 5-HT neurons and increased cytochrome oxidase activity in dopamine-depleted rats, as compared to controls. These data support the hypothesis that the DRN 5-HT system is hyperactive in the dopamine-depleted brain.

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...

Introduction: The role of serotonergic fibers in avoidance learning is controversial. Involvement of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), the main source of hippocampal projecting serotonergic fibers in acquisition, consolidation and retrieval of passive avoidance (PA) learning, was investigated by functional suppression of this area. Materials and Methods: DRN functional inactivation was done by li...
