Deficits in substance P mRNA levels in the CeA are inversely associated with alcohol-motivated responding.

30 Oct 2009 In the present study, in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to determine the relationship between innate substance P (SP) levels and alcohol-motivated behavior in alcohol-preferring (P) and nonpreferring (NP) rat lines. In Experiment 1, in ... Read more...

Enhanced maternal aggression and associated changes in neuropeptide gene expression in multiparous rats.

29 Sep 2009 Although it has often been speculated that prior reproductive experience improves subsequent maternal care, few studies have examined specific changes in behavior during a 1st versus 2nd lactation. During lactation, mothers display heightened ... Read more...

Central vasopressin and oxytocin receptor distributions in two species of singing mice.

29 Sep 2009 The neuropeptides arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) are key modulators of vertebrate sociality. Although some general behavioral functions of AVP and OT are broadly conserved, the detailed consequences of peptide release seem to be ... Read more...
