Orexin Directly Enhances the Excitability of Globus Pallidus Internus Neurons in Rat by Co-activating OX1 and OX2 Receptors
Orexin, released from the hypothalamus, has been implicated in various basic non-somatic functions including feeding, the sleep-wakefulness cycle, emotion, and cognition. However, the role of orexin in somatic...

Medial cerebellar nucleus projects to feeding-related neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus in rats
The cerebellum, a hindbrain motor center, also participates in regulating nonsomatic visceral activities such as feeding control. However, the underlying neural mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we investiga...

Open AccessCorticotropin releasing factor excites neurons of posterior hypothalamic nucleus to produce tachycardia in rats
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), a peptide hormone involved in the stress response, holds a key position in cardiovascular regulation. Here, we report that the central effect of CRF on cardiovascular acti...

Effects of norepinephrine on the electrical activities of pain-related neurons in the rat nucleus accumbens
This study examined the effects of norepinephrine (NE) and phentolamine on the electrical activities of pain-excited neurons (PENs) and pain-inhibited neurons (PINs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of Wistar ra...
