Distribution and function of GABAB receptors in spider peripheral mechanosensilla.
The mechanosensilla in spider exoskeleton are innervated by bipolar neurons with their cell bodies close to the cuticle and dendrites attached to it. Numerous efferent fibers synapse with peripheral parts of the mechanosensory neurons, with glial cells surrounding the neurons, and with each other. Most of these efferent fibers are immunoreactive to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and the sensor...
متن کاملThe effect of GABAB receptors in CA1 region of hippocampus on morphine tolerance in female Wistar race rats by conditioned place preference
Background and Aim: The hippocampus is a region of the brain that plays an important role in learning activities, including conditioned place preference (CPP). This area is widely used as the target of the studies on the reinforcing effects of the drugs and narcotics. Considering the wide distribution of GABAB receptors in the hippocampus CA1 region, these receptors are likely to play an import...
متن کاملGABAB receptors within the central nucleus of amygdala may involve in the morphine-induced incentive tolerance in female rats
Objective(s): Central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) is the most important region for morphine-induced reward, and GABAergic system plays an important role on morphine reinforcement. The influence of CeA administration of GABAB receptor agonist and antagonist on the expression and acquisition of morphine-induced incentive tolerance using conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm was investigated i...
متن کاملEffect of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field and/or GABAB Receptors on Foot Shock-induced Aggression in Rats
Introduction: The present study investigated the interactive effect of GABAB receptors and extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on foot shock-induced aggression in rats. Methods: fifty adult male rats were randomly assigned into 10 groups. Groups 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 were exposed to 50 Hz, 500 µT ELF-EMF for 30 days 8h per day while the remaining groups (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) were...
متن کاملThe effect of GABAB receptor activation within the ventral tegmental area on morphine-induced incentive sensitization in female rats
Repeated administration of morphine sensitizes animals to the stimulant and rewarding properties of the drug. It may also alter the expression and function of GABA receptors within the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a midbrain region that is implicated in morphine action. In the present study, the effect of activation of GABAB receptor subtypes within the VTA on morphine-induced incentive sensit...
