Progress has been made over the last 10 years in determining the neural mechanisms of
sensitization induced by amphetamine-like psychostimulants, opioids and stressors …

Over the last 10 years there has been important progress towards understanding how
neurotransmitters regulate dopaminergic output. Reasonable estimates can be made of the …

Interactions between the classical monoamine neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) and the
peptide neurotransmitter neurotensin (NT) in the central nervous system (CNS) have now …

Survival depends on an organism's ability to sense nutrient status and accordingly regulate
intake and energy expenditure behaviors. Uncoupling of energy sensing and behavior …

Neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) control motivated behaviors such as feeding
and ambulatory activity, in part by modulating mesolimbic dopamine (DA) circuits. The …

Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide that is found in the central nervous system (CNS) and
the gastrointestinal tract. NT behaves as a neurotransmitter in the brain and as a hormone in …

In the conditioned reinforcement paradigm, animals learn a new instrumental response
reinforced solely by conditioned reward (a stimulus that has previously been associated with …

The peptide neurotensin (Nts) was discovered within the brain over 40 years ago and is
implicated in regulating analgesia, body temperature, blood pressure, locomotor activity and …

More than two decades of research indicate that the peptide neurotensin (NT) and its
cognate receptors participate to a remarkable extent in the regulation of mammalian …

The small peptide neurotensin (Nts) is implicated in myriad processes including analgesia,
thermoregulation, reward, arousal, blood pressure, and modulation of feeding and body …
