Exposure to an enriched environment selectively increases the functional response of the pre-synaptic NMDA receptors which modulate noradrenaline release in mouse hippocampus.

30 Aug 2009 We evaluated the impact of environmental training on the functions of pre-synaptic glutamatergic NMDA and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) and nicotinic receptors expressed by hippocampal noradrenergic nerve terminals. ... Read more...

Presynaptic action of neurotensin on dopamine release through inhibition of D(2) receptor function.

12 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Neurotensin (NT) is known to act on dopamine (DA) neurons at the somatodendritic level to regulate cell firing and secondarily enhance DA release. In addition, anatomical and indirect physiological data suggest the presence of NT ... Read more...

The contribution of serotonin 1A receptors to kappa opioid immunosuppression.

9 Jun 2009 Activation of kappa opioid receptors (kappa-OR) with the selective agonist rimorphin (0.1 mg/kg) produced marked suppression of the immune response in CBA mice. This effect was not seen on administration of rimorphin on the background of a reduction ... Read more...
