Serotonin 1A, 1B, and 7 receptors of the rat medial nucleus accumbens differentially regulate feeding, water intake, and locomotor activity

KA Clissold, E Choi, WE Pratt - Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 2013 - Elsevier
Abstract Serotonin (5-HT) signaling has been widely implicated in the regulation of feeding
behaviors in both humans and animal models. Recently, we reported that co-stimulation of 5 …

Contrasting effects of 5-HT3 receptor stimulation of the nucleus accumbens or ventral tegmentum on food intake in the rat

WE Pratt, P Lin, Z Pierce-Messick, AO Ilesanmi… - Behavioural brain …, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract Although serotonin (5-HT) signaling is known to regulate food intake and energy
homeostasis, the roles of the 5-HT 3 receptor in feeding processes have been elusive. 5-HT …

Selective serotonin receptor stimulation of the medial nucleus accumbens differentially affects appetitive motivation for food on a progressive ratio schedule of …

WE Pratt, MA Schall, E Choi - Neuroscience letters, 2012 - Elsevier
Previously, we reported that stimulation of selective serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes in

A systematic investigation of the differential roles for ventral tegmentum serotonin 1-and 2-type receptors on food intake in the rat

WE Pratt, KA Clissold, P Lin, AE Cain, AF Ciesinski… - Brain research, 2016 - Elsevier
Abstract Central serotonin (5-HT) pathways are known to influence feeding and other
ingestive behaviors. Although the ventral tegmentum is important for promoting the seeking …

Medial hypothalamic nuclei mediate serotonin's inhibitory effect on feeding behavior

SF Leibowitz, GF Weiss, JS Suh - Pharmacology Biochemistry and …, 1990 - Elsevier
Previous studies have demonstrated that injection of serotonin (5-HT) into the
paraventricular nucleus (PVN), specifically at the onset of the active feeding cycle, causes a …

Serotonergic control of the organization of feeding and satiety

KJ Simansky - Behavioural brain research, 1995 - Elsevier
Studies in which serotonergic drugs were administered either systemically or directly into
central sites have implicated 5-HT in the inhibitory control of feeding in mammals. In animal …

Role of the serotonergic system in appetite and ingestion control

MD Lee, PG Clifton - Handbook of behavioral neuroscience, 2010 - Elsevier
Three decades on from Blundell's suggestion that serotonin serves to orchestrate
endogenous satiety, we present an overview of the behavioral, pharmacological and …

The present experiments were designed to investigate the effects of hypothalamic 5-HT on …

Activation of 5-HT1B receptors in the nucleus accumbens reduces amphetamine-induced enhancement of responding for conditioned reward

PJ Fletcher, KM Korth - Psychopharmacology, 1999 - Springer
