Dopamine receptor gene expression by enkephalin neurons in rat forebrain.
In situ hybridization experiments were performed with brain sections from normal, control and haloperidol-treated rats to identify and map the cells expressing the D2 dopamine receptor gene. D2 receptor mRNA was detected with radioactive or biotinylated oligonucleotide probes. D2 receptor mRNA was present in glandular cells of the pituitary intermediate lobe and in neurons of the substantia nig...
متن کاملRegulation of Behavioral Arousal in C. elegans
Animals undergo periods of behavioral quiescence and arousal in response to environmental, circadian, or developmental cues. During larval molts, C. elegans undergoes a period of profound behavioral quiescence termed lethargus. Locomotion quiescence during lethargus was abolished in mutants lacking a neuropeptide receptor (NPR-1), and was reduced in mutants lacking NPR-1 ligands (FLP-18 and -21...
متن کاملBehavioral dopamine signals.
Lesioning and psychopharmacological studies suggest a wide range of behavioral functions for ascending midbrain dopaminergic systems. However, electrophysiological and neurochemical studies during specific behavioral tasks demonstrate a more restricted spectrum of dopamine-mediated changes. Substantial increases in dopamine-mediated activity, as measured by electrophysiology or voltammetry, are...
متن کاملNICOTINE-INDUCED EEG AND BEHAVIORAL AROUSAL*t
(-) Nicotine, in doses of OG%O~Ol mg/kg given intravenously over 1 min, produced transient behavioral arousal and EEG activation in cats with chronic indwelling brain electrodes. The effects of nicotine were evident when the animals were in natural slow wave (deep) sleep as observed behaviorally and by the EEG with recordings from various cortical and subcortical sites. After nicotine administr...
متن کاملDopamine in Drosophila: setting arousal thresholds in a miniature brain.
In mammals, the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) modulates a variety of behaviours, although DA function is mostly associated with motor control and reward. In insects such as the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, DA also modulates a wide array of behaviours, ranging from sleep and locomotion to courtship and learning. How can a single molecule play so many different roles? Adaptive changes with...
