Lesions of the medial preoptic area interfere with the display of a conditioned place preference for vaginocervical stimulation in rats.

30 Jul 2009 The present study examined the effect of ibotenic acid lesions of the medial preoptic area (mPOA) on the expression of a conditioned place preference (CPP) for vaginocervical stimulation. Rats with bilateral lesions of the mPOA failed to display the ... Read more...

Bar pressing for food: differential consequences of lesions to the anterior versus posterior pedunculopontine.

13 Jul 2009 The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) is in a key position to participate in operant reinforcement via its connections with the corticostriatal architecture and the medial reticular formation. Indeed, previous work has demonstrated that rats ... Read more...

Disruption of neuroendocrine stress responses to acute ferret odor by medial, but not central amygdala lesions in rats.

13 Jul 2009 Investigations of the neural pathways associated with responses to predators have implicated the medial amygdala (MeA) as an important region involved in defensive behaviors. To our knowledge, however, the involvement of the MeA in neuroendocrine ... Read more...
