Neuropeptide Y activity in the nucleus accumbens modulates feeding behavior and neuronal activity.
BACKGROUND Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that plays a prominent role in feeding and energy homeostasis. Expression of the NPY Y1 receptor (Y1R) is highly concentrated in the nucleus accumbens (Acb), a region important in the regulation of palatable feeding. In this study, we performed a number of experiments to investigate the actions of NPY in the Acb. METHODS First, we...
متن کاملNeuronal activity in the nucleus accumbens is necessary for performance-related increases in cortical acetylcholine release.
In vivo microdialysis was used to determine the necessity of neuronal activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAC) for task-induced increases in cortical acetylcholine (ACh) efflux. Rats were trained in a behavioral task in which they were required to perform a defined number of licks of a citric acid solution in order to gain access to a palatable, cheese-flavored food. Upon reaching a consistent l...
متن کاملLmo4 in the nucleus accumbens regulates cocaine sensitivity.
An estimated 2 million Americans use cocaine, resulting in large personal and societal costs. Discovery of the genetic factors that contribute to cocaine abuse is important for understanding this complex disease. Previously, mutations in the Drosophila LIM-only (dLmo) gene were identified because of their increased behavioral sensitivity to cocaine. Here we show that the mammalian homolog Lmo4,...
متن کاملControl of nucleus accumbens activity with neurofeedback
The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) plays critical roles in healthy motivation and learning, as well as in psychiatric disorders (including schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Thus, techniques that confer control of NAcc activity might inspire new therapeutic interventions. By providing second-to-second temporal resolution of activity in small subcortical regions, functional m...
متن کاملSynchronous activity in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens in vivo.
The hippocampus is one of the brain regions involved in cognitive functions, including learning and memory. Extensive studies have unveiled how information is processed within this system. However, the mechanisms by which hippocampal activity is translated into action remain unsolved. One important target of hippocampal projections is the nucleus accumbens, which has been described as the motiv...
