The coupling of striatal dopamine D1 receptors to c-fos transcription exhibit all-or-none
regional and ontogenic differences: the D1 agonist SKF 38393 fails to induce c-fos …

Striatal neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI) levels were investigated in naive rats
after acute, subchronic (14 days) or chronic (28 days) intraperitoneal (ip) treatment with …

Publisher Summary Histamine is released in the brain from neurons projecting in a diffuse
manner to widely divergent cerebral areas and arising from the tuberomammillary nucleus of …

Striatopallidal output neurons, which coexpress D2-dopamine receptors and NMDA
receptors, are logically a potential site of interaction between corticostriatal glutamatergic …

The binding sites of girisopam, a homophthalazine (2, 3-benzodiazepine)-derivate have a
specific distribution pattern restricted to the striato-pallido-nigral system of the rat brain …

56 receptors in the neostriatum not only failed to induce c-Fos expression in this region
(which is consistent with the CAMP theory as D2 receptor activation results in an inhibition of …

Phencyclidine (PCP) is a drug of abuse that inhibits NMDA receptors as well as the
dopamine transporter. PCP-induced behaviors are thought to depend largely on descending …

The striatum is the main input region of the basal ganglia, an area of the brain contributing to
a wide range of motor activities. The aim of this thesis is to characterise the functional …

La souris mutante Dystonia musculorum (de/de) souffre d'une atteinte neurodégénérative
des voies spinocérébelleuses et d'une atrophie des voies sensorielles périphériques. Les …

Genetic analysis of viruses capable of producing tumors in mice led to the discovery of
cancer-causing genes termed oncogenes. The v-fos oncogene is responsible for the ability …
