Cognitive flexibility depends on the integrity of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We showed
previously that impaired decision making in pain results from amygdala-driven inhibition of …

We studied the involvement of deep cortical layer neurons in processing callosal information
in the rat. We observed with electron microscopy that both parvalbumin (PV)-labeled profiles …

The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) is the primary brainstem centre for the integration of
physiological information from the periphery transmitted via the vagus nerve. In turn, the NTS …

Brainstem A2/C2 catecholamine (CA) neurons in the solitary tract nucleus (NTS) are thought
to play an important role in the control of food intake and other homeostatic functions. We …

The lateral habenula, a phylogenetically conserved epithalamic structure, is activated by
aversive stimuli and reward omission. Excitatory efferents from the lateral habenula …

In the brainstem nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), primary vagal afferent neurons express
the transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) at their central …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive degeneration of
motoneurons. One potential mechanism is excitotoxicity. We studied the behaviors of spinal …

The fat‐derived peptide leptin regulates cellular activity in areas of the CNS related to
feeding, and application of leptin to the fourth ventricle or the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) …

Proprioception, the sense of limb and body position, is essential for generating proper
movement. Unconscious proprioceptive information travels through cerebellar-projecting …

Reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are thought to contribute to the
pathophysiology of Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by …
