Sex Differences in Neurotransmitter Systems

Sex differences in neurotransmitter systems.

Sex differences in behaviors and other centrally regulated processes have inspired research on structural differences in the brain that might underlie these functional differences. Structural sex differences have been found at almost every level in the brain (1-3). The manner in which such structural differences contribute to functional sex differences is only clear in some cases, notably in se...

Morphine-Induced Place Preference: Interactions with Neurotransmitter Systems

This review gives an overview of our recent findings and developments in research on brain mechanisms of morphine reward from studies using the place preference conditioning paradigm. Intracranial place conditioning methodology has become a valuable and firmly established and very widely used tool in behavioural pharmacology and drug reward mechanisms. Several studies have established that morp...
