    Argon blocks the expression of locomotor sensitization to amphetamine through antagonism at the vesicular monoamine transporter-2 and mu-opioid receptor in the nucleus accumbens

    We investigated the effects of the noble gas argon on the expression of locomotor sensitization to amphetamine and amphetamine-induced changes in dopamine release and mu-opioid neurotransmission in the nucleus...

    Selective cytotoxic lesions of the retrohippocampal region produce a mild deficit in social recognition memory

    Although a number of studies have implicated the hippocampal formation in social recognition memory in the rat, a recent study in this laboratory has demonstrated that selective cytotoxic lesions, confined to...

    The role of the entorhinal cortex in two forms of spatial learning and memory

    It is generally acknowledged that the rodent hippocampus plays an important role in spatial learning and memory. The importance of the entorhinal cortex (ERC), an area that is closely interconnected anatomica...

    Contextual fear conditioning is disrupted by lesions of the subcortical, but not entorhinal, connections to the hippocampus

    Recent studies have questioned the importance of the entorhinal cortex (ERC) for normal hippocampal function. For example, fibre-sparing ERC lesions have been found to have no effect on spatial learning in th...

    Cytotoxic lesions of the hippocampus increase social investigation but do not impair social-recognition memory

    A number of studies have implicated the hippocampal formation in social-recognition memory in the rat. The present study addressed this issue directly by assessing the effects of cytotoxic lesions confined to...

    Twitching and quivering of the tentacles during snail olfactory orientation

    In Helix aspersa the posterior tentacles house a sensitive olfactory organ. We studied two types of tentacular movements, twitch and quiver. A twitch is a brief retraction (mean duration, 4.1 s); a quiver is a r...

    CCK-A and CCK-B selective receptor agonists and antagonists modulate olfactory recognition in male rats

    Modulation of learning and memory is one of the physiological roles that the neuropeptide cholecystokinin (CCK-8) may play. We have used a behavioural model of olfactory recognition among rats to test this hyp...

    Chemical Structure, Pharmacodynamic Profile and Pharmacokinetics of SMS 201–995 (Sandostatin®)

    Natural somatostatin (SRIF) is a tetra-decapeptide with a multiplicity of inhibiting actions on the secretion of a variety of hormones. In vivo, the compound has a biological half-life of only two to three minute...
