In mammals, the magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) have been
classified into vasopressin-(VP) and oxytocin-(OT) producing subtypes. The degree to which …

Magnocellular neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular
nuclei secrete the hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin, into the systemic circulation from the …

Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were performed together with time-resolved
measurements of membrane capacitance (C m) in nerve terminals acutely dissociated from …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) is innervated by a variety of types of
neuropeptide‐immunoreactive fibers. The cells of origin for many of these inputs are not …

Opioid receptors were found to activate two different types of membrane potassium
conductance in acutely dissociated neurons from the CA1/subiculum regions of the adult rat …

Drugs, hormones, and neurotransmitters can open and close ion channels by several
molecular mechanisms. First, the transmitter receptor might itself comprise the ion channel …

Many of the actions of estradiol in the central nervous system (CNS) are mediated via
intracellular estrogen receptors (ERs)/transcription factors that interact with steroid response …

1. This study aimed to establish the site at which morphine acts to inhibit oxytocin release in
response to peripheral administration of cholecystokinin (CCK). 2. Conscious rats were …

The changes of oxytocin content and mRNA expression in some nuclei were investigated in
morphine-dependent rats using radioimmunoassay (RIA) and in situ hybridization (ISH) …

It is well known that many of the actions of estrogens in the central nervous system are
mediated via intracellular receptor/transcription factors that interact with steroid response …
