Activation of ATP receptor increases the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration in nucleus accumbens neurons of rat brain.

چکیده
ATP increased the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca](i)) in nucleus accumbens neurons acutely dissociated from rat brain. The ATP response was dependent on external Ca(2+) and Na(+), and was blocked by voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel blockers. The results suggest that the ATP-induced depolarization increases Ca(2+) influx resulting in the increase in [Ca](i).

Evaluation of the effect of orexin-1 receptors in the nucleus accumbens shell on cost-benefit decision making in male rats
Background: Cost-benefit decision-making is a one of the decision-making models in which the animal achieves a final benefit (reward) by evaluating the cost (effort or delay). The role of different brain regions such as nucleus accumbens in this process has been proven. Orexin is a neuropeptide expressed exclusively by lateral hypothalamus area neurons and orexin-producing neurons project their...
متن کاملGlutamate Receptors in Nucleus Accumbens Can Modulate Canabinoid-Induced Antinociception in Rat’s Basolateral Amygdala
Introduction: It has been shown that administration of WIN55,212-2, a cannabinoid receptor agonist, into the basolateral amygdala (BLA), dose-dependently increases the thermal latency to withdrawal in the tail-.ick test and decreases pain related behaviors in both phases of the formalin test. Recent human and animal imaging data suggest that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is an important neural su...

متن کاملActivation of Astroglial Calcium Signaling by Endogenous Metabolites Succinate and Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate in the Nucleus Accumbens
Accumulating evidence suggests that different energy metabolites play a role not only in neuronal but also in glial signaling. Recently, astroglial Ca(2+) transients evoked by the major citric acid cycle metabolite succinate (SUC) and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) that enters the citric acid cycle via SUC have been described in the brain reward area, the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Cells responding ...
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...
